Dining-room Redesign!

When you love something in your home, do you tend to live with it untouched for a long time or do you tend to stroll past it every day while it fades into the background? Sort of like being at your Grandma's house where it seems like the exact same furnishings has remained in the very same sport for your entire life? It's familiar; it's comfy.

I know that feeling, just my comfortable buddy remained in the type of a mirror that held on the dining-room wall - for about 9 years that's method too comfortable. I've traded out practically every piece of furniture under it and around it other than for the table itself. Well, it was time to change things up! It worked for a very long time until I got tired of not being able to take photos without having the reflection of myself or the cooking area. So, out it went. Rather, I hung the framed blackboard that I managed making a trade with another vendor back in September when I did a classic market. I likewise just recently discovered the pegged racks for a take and added some of my ironstone plates. I might include cups to the left side also; it's a proportion thing with me.

The room is a combination of brand-new, old, handmade, re-purposed and thrift store and estate sale finds. The chandelier was painted a few years back, and I'm trying to decide if I wish to keep it or change it. Hence the factor I haven't rewired it to hang lower. We have high vaulted ceilings, so it's up pretty high considering that I swagged it.

The carpet is from Pottery Barn this previous year, and the table we've had for about 10 years or more. The buffet was a light wood colour and was the very first piece of bed room furniture I purchased as a single girl lots of years earlier. I cut the legs down and painted it when I relocated it to function as the buffet.

I made or reupholstered/painted a couple of items in this space myself, consisting of the curtains, the upholstered bench and pillow, the wreath and the reupholstered antique chair in the corner which you can check out about here.

All the ironstone was either found at estate sales or thrift shops. The last thing on our list for this room aside from the light component are installing new baseboards due to the fact that we pulled all of them out to replace our floorings a couple of months ago and haven't navigated to that task yet. Lastly, those stunning spring flowers were a gift from the hubby a few days ago. He's a sweetheart and said they were "just because" and he desired me to understand that he loved me, how sweet is that?
