Dining Room Reveal

Good Afternoon!

 

I am so happy that I have finished giving our dining room a fresh update.

You can see what it looked like before here. 

 

 Changed the placement of the mirror and the space feels so much bigger.  Paint colors add to the space being able to breathe.

 

 The art is actually vintage tv trays.  I love the pattern and how it adds life (I don't have a green thumb at all)

 

These chairs I got for $10.  LOVE!  The fur is from Ikea.

 

 A Mexican blanket on table makes it feel inviting like you're on a picnic.

 

 

 

 

Changed curtains to simple and white.  

 

And our view to outside.

Little changes can make a big difference.  

What updates are you doing?  What changes have you done in your home to welcome in the summer season?

Blankets.. Not Just For Keeping You Cozy

 Good Morning!

I am so happy to say I am 97% done with my living / dining room space.  The 3% is stuff only I will notice that needs to get finished and a couple of new items I would like to get for the space.

Yesterday I finally finished painting.  Yes!!!  It took me quite some time but I love the colors that I have chosen thanks to Benjamin Moore.

I thought I would give you sneak peaks around the space with little tips here and there.

A couple of months ago I went to an estate sale where I found some Mexican throws and I knew I just had to have them.

The dining room needed to be lightened up and the blanket would do the trick.

The dining room table is dark and to break it up and lighten it for the warmer weather the throw would be the perfect "table cloth".  Instead of going with a store bought table cover use something that wouldn't be typical like a blanket. 

 It's casual and welcoming.

Have a Wonderful Monday :)

What About This For Your Ceiling?

Good Morning!

I am in love with mirrored ceilings right now.  

Several years ago I went to an open house (home for sale) and when I walked into the master bedroom..the whole ceiling was mirrored and the walls.  It gave me the creeps and needless to say that house is still on the market.

That's not what I am talking about.  You can have mirrored ceilings but it be done tastefully..just don't do it in the bedroom..ahem.

I love the antique mirrored ceiling in this dining room.  If I had an enclosed one I would so be doing this.  It raises the ceiling height and reflects more light into the space.  I also love the use of the navy (blue is the new black) and the crispness of the white adds such class.

For those who like rustic and raw..the beamed ceiling with the mirrors simply gorgeous.  Could totally see this at a beach house.

If putting in a full installation is a little overwhelming for you..what about a sunburst mirror centered in the room?  I think it would add so much character.  This I definitely can do.  : )

BTW..

I am so excited..I am going to be getting my hair done.  It has been such a long process in finding the right hairstylist after the one I went to for years left to move to Miami.  I have been in search for at least the last 5yrs.  I believe I found my replacement.
