Dining Room Delight!

Well.... long time no see... haha! I couldn't wait to post about the dining room makeover! I absolutely love this room now! 

Before..... poop brown on bottom and baby vomit green/brown(came color that was ALL OVER the house when we moved in! BLEH!).... pretty ugly... pretty boring.... not attractive.... and looked dirty, closed in and overall just not pleasant. 

Well of course that couldn't do for us... I wanted a much lighter, much more delicate look in my dining room, one that was much cleaner looking and much more inviting for company...

I post this picture to shoe you all what we are dealing with.... as you can notice some old paint ripped off with the light cover... yes... whomever painted this out before not only used cheap nasty colored and overall horrible paint, but also put the switch covers on before it was fully dry... we had to pry them all off with a screw driver.... this is real life people!!!!

Anywho, gathered everything in the center to keep it from getting covered in paint!

Step one.... cover molding and bottom part of wall in an ivory creamy white.... this took three coats and come spots I still need to/have touched up. The poop brown was hard to cover! 

Step two, grey on top!!!! Step three Hang pictures/set everything up! Keep in mind people we are still working with what has been given to us! We cannot afford new furniture at the moment!  Bakers rack was from my Mimi, its perfect in this space and I love how it turned out!

A little cheap wall art from photos we have, dollar tree frames and Wal-Mart prints, who project: $15.00 

Shadow box made from wedding memories, and a new better home for out unity candle and table. I just love our Unity Candle, I feel like its too pretty not to be on display somewhere at least for a little while!

Overall collage of the whole thing... I LOVE it! 

Another angle... 

new table and chairs from my parents, they are such a blessing and have given us so much, we are so thankful!!  It goes perfectly! I will eventually resurface them with an old barn distressed grey look, but they look great for now! 

Overall still a few tweaks and details to be finished and a China Cabinet to find... hoping we can get a good deal on one at a yard sale this summer that I can resurface and not feel guilty about it! With what we have to work with I'm very very pleased with this room currently! I eventually want to get a new light fixture and move this current one into another room, but again... I will take it as it comes! :) Hope you all enjoyed the post and the new dining room as much as I enjoyed doing it! Hope to have you over soon to see it in person!

Farewell and God Bless!
