Ok - I have worked my fingers to the bone on this one this weekend. Here it is - the new dining area with a before and after shot!
Dontcha just LOVE it! I do! So here is the breakdown on what I did
- Spray painted the metal from the hammered grey to black
- Reupholstered the chairs in a bright green chenille
- Made the cute pillows out of some fabric I have had forever
- Got some new placemats, linens, and a vase
Love it! Oh and the roses were a special today! Ran into to Food Lion to get some other things real quick and they had "Rainbow Rose" dozens 2 for 1 at $8.89! I love getting fresh flowers on the cheap.
I also am "tying" in the look to the kitchen with some new dish towels! Of course, my favorite bird plates are in the background there along with my Mod Podged Wine Bottle (next to that gigantic pile of papers I need to file)!
Here is a close up of the chair transformation. The black looks SO much better than than hammered grey look and I LOVE my new fabrics! My goal is to switch out the pillow covers between seasons to give the room a different look. These paisley beauties are my "spring" ones!

Great makeover. Love the color you brought in when you transformed the area!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Can I hire you to come to my house and help. I am at such a loss for what to do to liven things up!
ReplyDeleteStoppin' by from SITS!
I absolutely love the pillows.
ReplyDeletelove it! the colors are perfect! a large rug in the kitchen in matching colors would really tie it all together.
ReplyDeleteWow, Jess...this is awesome! I love it! The fabrics are beautiful...and I do love the black vs the gray...great choice! Such a beautiful transformation! And you have a tablescape post, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of swapping out the pillows with the seasons!
I love the new color scheme, and I agree that the black is a definite -- albeit subtle -- improvement. Great job!
ReplyDeleteJess, your chairs look fabulous! I love that fabric. Great re-do! Thanks for linking it to my party.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
this is a really great reno! it definitely takes work to make a space go from just 'fine' to being Fantastic! good job! I also wanted to comment on your chandelier it's lovely and I just picked up the same one for my bedroom, just wondering where you got it and for how much if you don't mind me asking! thanks so much

Nice transformation - great color choice for the chairs. I too like to design on a dime; the one thing I might have tried is spray painting the chandelier to either match the chairs or done it a dark bronze maybe. Great room!
