Her other happy place? Surrounded by family and friends at home in Kelowna with her fiancé Justin, son Leo, and their boxer pup Nacho Cilantro W elcome to my new dining room. What do you think?!?!? I just recently upgraded my table and it has completely transformed my kitchen and dining room space. I had the table custom built by my friend who owns Urban Roots. I have always loved his work but never imagined the table that we designed together would turn out this beautifully. I originally bought farmhouse metal chairs to go with it, but I thought the space lacked character and texture. SO…I returned them and went to Taylor’s antiques (one of my favorite antique stores in Kelowna) and rummaged through their stuff. I found 8 mismatched vintage chairs all within the same color scheme and brought them home to try. I absolutely love them and they were a fraction of the price!!! I picked some fresh apples off my tree and threw some BC Tree Fruit plums in a bowl…and decided to invite the girls over for an afternoon lunch. Tori from Fraiche Nutrition of course brought an amazing charcuterie spread (she never disappoints) which was the cherry on top to breaking in the new dining room!!! What are you and your girlfriends doing this weekend!?!?! I suggest an impromptu lunch! XO Jilly JILLIANHARRIS.COM Photo Credit: Janis Nicolay 11
