Dining Room COMPLETED!







Well, after half of my family down with strep and hopefully no more...
I have finished the dining room!

If you are just now reading about the dining room transformation you can see some of the process here, here and here!

It is exactly what I had imagined in my mind...

Here is one more before to show you the earlier color scheme: black, white, and grey.
BORING! ( no offense...)
I really, really LOVE the color of the walls, it's WOODSMOKE by Glidden. It is a true grey with some green undertones...it goes with everything!


Here is the room totally cleared out...


Notice the black lamp and black shelf...
I tried really hard not to buy much for this room, but
to re-purpose a lot of the decor that I had.
So keep an eye out for all the "new" stuff!

Here is another quick look at the dining room table before...


In the process of becoming BEAUTIFUL!

Finally, here are WAY too many after photos!!!!!

The whole feel of the room is so much more comfortable and inviting.
Which is exactly what I was going for...were not exactly the "formal" type.


I have always loved this Van Gogh painting and I was so excited to get it into the room.
The colors matched wonderfully!


The two pictures on the wall are just framed scrapbooking paper.
I actually found the frames for $1.80 at Hobby Lobby!
Sweet!

I love the simplicity of the buffet, I was feeling too cluttered...
The flower base was black and then got a fresh coat of spray paint, along with the lamp.




The curtains were a great find at Fabric.com, it was actually
only 4.95 a yard, you really can't beat that!

All of the blue plates, I found at Target and added the perfect
amount of texture to that side of the room.

One final angle...

I hope you enjoyed our dining room. It was way too fun to tackle
and hopefully next will be the kitchen!

Dining Room Part 3


Well, the dining room is coming along...slowly...but it is coming along!
I finally finished the "new" table ( new to us)!

I ended up selling my table on craigslist and then scoring
this one for $100 LESS on craigslist!
AMAZING!
Which allowed me to buy the new fabric, that hopefully will be here
tomorrow and I can put the room back together!

Here are the before pictures:

Ugly, Ugly cushions....

It came with 2 leaves so it gets really big...
I scored the table and all 6 chairs for 200 bucks!

Not horrible, but not what I was looking for,
but OH the lines of the table are
BEAUTIFUL!

After some primer and some spray paint...

Aren't the spirals pretty? They make me smile :)

The lines on the legs are what really sold the table to me...
I left the top of the table original, mainly because I liked the color and the contrast to the white, and also because it was finished well and I did not want to mess it up.

Dining Room Part 2

I was inspired!!! YEah!
Over at fabric. com they had this super pretty indoor/outdoor fabric that is exactly what I had in mind. It will flow with the rest of the house and be the perfect first impression!
It has been ordered and could not get here soon enough!!!

Dining Room Part 1



After finally selling my dining room table on craigslist, I got the go ahead to start looking for what I wanted... after a couple of weeks of an empty room, my weekend hopefully will be filled with repainting our new table!
(it would be too easy to find one that is already exactly the way I want it)

So here is a little peek into what our dining room used to look like...
This was during Thanksgiving.




So... Goodbye black and white...Hello, I'm not sure yet.
Hopefully this weekend I will be inspired!
