Well - we are pretty much in and unpacked by now. The only area to finish up is the guest room/my craft room. And to figure out where to put all my decorative accents - but we will deal with that later. In the mean time, now that we are in and I have the "space" set up with furniture I am trying to decide what to do with each area. I am starting off with the Dining Area - see a picture below.
I really do like the paint color and since it is one big "great room" that connects the kitchen, living room and dining room I am going to leave that be. The dinette set was one of the "free" furniture pieces that we got from a friend. I know I want to do some sort of large art on the wall back there, perhaps add a rug, get some cute table accents, and of course recover those seat cushions. Here is a close up of the chair and the cushion.
I am also not sure if I love this mottled gray finish, I think you need to click on the picture to see it. It is kinda that hammered silver black faux finish thing. Potentially - this whole thing will get spray painted jet black.

Here are some of my inspirational pics that I am going to try to steal some ideas from as I transform the space!
So don't you just love this - it is so classy and elegant. I think I will need a nice sized centerpiece like this one on the round table.
I really like how the chairs pop here! I am thinking about doing a brighter color or pattern on the chairs rather than the ho-hum beige that is on them now.
On the other hand - I love the black and white prints here. I think I REALLY want to do a Black and White kitchen (to go with my Bird Prints!) and I think a Black and White Dinette to match would be cute!

But then again - that cute pop of color is intriguing! I love how playful and fun this space is!
But then there is that Black and White look that is so cute! I think this print is adorable!
I am torn! What do you think - pop of color or black and white?

Congrats on the move. Enjoy making the space your own. I think that a pop of colour would go best with these chairs. Cute chairs... :)
I also vote for a pop of color!
I'm with the majority! COLOR...especially on those iron chairs. They would look AMAZING if you painted them white and then rubbed off a lot of the paint so the black came through and looked heavily distressed...and then a colorful cushion. I think that would look amazing and it would look great in contrast to the dark wood top.
Color on the chairs. A nice, modern print, maybe, with some great color would really liven them up and make them contemporary.
Congratulations!!!!!!! Saw you were the big winner, you have to be super excited.
I love all of them! But after looking through your blog and seeing your darling Spring Welcoming Sign that you made... I definitely think you should go with the POP of COLOR!
Thanks for stopping by my blog on Wednesday for my SITS Featured Blogger day. It was a crazy, fun day with all of you SITS girls!
B&W WITH a pop of color :)
