It looks like a room again! Yeah!!
Note: I am only showing one view since there are still a few boxes (that contain recent purchases intended for the basement) along the other wall. Oh and I will eventually have the chairs flanking the sideboard recovered...I have several things I need reupholstered so I will do them all at once...maybe in the fall.
WHAT a transformation. I feel lucky that I got to see the before - cuz HOLY CRAP that is a big change. Looks absolutely gorgeous, Shannon!!! Your hard work has paid off!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your dining room! All of it. The colour, the table & chairs, the sideboard! Perfection!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt just occurred to be now that I should have tossed out the dead tree branch and put some fresh flowers in the vase on the sideboard...instead I dusted the branch...that shows you how often I have bought a bouquet during the past 20+ weeks - it didn't even cross my mind!
ReplyDeleteyour wood tones are so fundamentally wrong, but maybe you don't realize that - a lot of people don't. You'll also do yourself some good by matching the lamp and chandler shades in tone and vertical angle. Though maybe garage sale chic is still hot in your area? You're sooo close to really displaying good taste -- don't give up!
ReplyDeleteLove this room.
ReplyDeletelovely...and...this is to anonymous: what?...
ReplyDeleteI love the room too! But I have to admit that the comment about the wood tones is not a bad one... I am not one who likes all the wood in the room to match, but here we have many "almost the same" tones... I think you have to either match your tones OR really pick different essences and wood tone types.
ReplyDeleteTHAT being said, Anonymous, you are lacking some finesse in your writting. Next time, in addition to your critism, you should make us, "the common mortals", understand your views.
Thanks for all the positive messages!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNext up will be the living room! I can't wait to share!
I think you have a beautiful dining room and I find the way you designed it has "tension" (which, is a good thing). Wood tones DO NOT have to match and neither does metal finishes! Who wants a room that looks like it came out of a big box store? I think "layering" a room, as you have done here, is very comfortable and relaxing. And another note... since you have a very neutral palette in your home, the finishes do not clash! Thank you for sharing your space!!
