The New Dining Area Revealed!

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! 

So there you go - my new dining room!  Total cost of this redo was $74.91!  Here is a breakdown of the costs:

Paint - $9.98
Chenille - $29.99
Pillow Forms - $13.98
Placemats - $7.99
Dish Towels - $7.98
Vase - $5.00

Stay tuned this week for my tips and tricks on how I got this done on the cheap!
