So our new house has a formal dining room. I don’t have much use for a formal dining room though, since we always go home for the major holidays… and we’re pretty casual. Don’t get me wrong; I love having people over for dinner, but my eat-in kitchen table is fine for dinner parties – at least for now! Back to the dining room; we turned it into a library and music room, and since I decided to decorate the room with photos from our trip to Chatsworth in England, I decided that it needed to be called the “Jane Austen Room”.<\/p>\n

\"Jane<\/a><\/p>\n

The room is filled with my beautiful piano that originally belonged to my great-grandmother! The piano is over 100 years old. My parents recently brought it out to me from Michigan! And I love having it here.<\/p>\n

\"Jane<\/a><\/p>\n

The bookcases are filled with books, a few small trinkets from trips, and some nerdy action figures. I have Mozart and Van\u00a0 Gogh! I also have a Jane Austen action figure next to a beautiful cross stitch my sister-in-law, Emily, made me for my birthday!<\/p>\n

\"Jane<\/a><\/p>\n

The chairs<\/a> and ottoman<\/a> are just what I wanted — wild, but still elegant. I love them. :-)<\/p>\n

\"Jane<\/a><\/p>\n

I also have a small work area in this room — it’s perfect for storing business documents and materials and mail supplies!<\/p>\n

And the new, upgraded light fixture is beautiful and will be also perfect in the future if we ever turn this room back into a dining room!<\/p>\n

I love to sit in my Jane Austen Room to play the piano, read, and drink tea. How Jane Austen.<\/p>\n
