Here are some sneak peaks at the dining room progress.
We have the ceilings, trim and walls all painted. Yeah!!! I love the color of the walls.
It is called Stone White and is just a hint of light gray to the walls.
 |
| This was the wall color before we painted. the ceilings were the same color as the walls so we needed to paint the ceilings white. |
 |
| Painted all the trim and crown molding to a white and then the walls in the stone white which is a light gray. |
 |
| Got some new gray and white checked fabric from Ikea for the chair seats. This is also the fabric for the new curtain panels. |
 |
| I almost forgot to take a picture of this old vintage china cabinet we inherited from Terry's grandmother before painting it. I took the door off and the drawer and shelves out and started to paint before I realized I did not have a before pic! Sorry so this is what you get to see for a before shot. |
 |
| A little drama with this piece. With it being so old furniture makers use a lacquer finish that was yellow oil base and it keeps bleeding through as the white paint dries. I did two coats of Kilz primer and now two more coats of white and it still is slightly on the cream side. So I am going to try one more coat of a bright white and see if that will work. |

| So hopefully after painting a few pieces and getting this cabinet to look less cream in color I will begin to start thinking about what to bring back into the room for decor. I am going for a light nordic cottage look to blend with my kitchen. Just sooooo tired of having stuff everywhere and my poor wood floors are a mess. So it will be nice to get things hung and put up and then clean my floors and hopefully be done and ready to show you the reveal. Plus Terry and I would like to have a few day trips for some fun while he is on vacation this week. So hopefully I will get this room together in the next few days. As we head on down to the New Year I want to wish all of you a very Happy New Year. I look forward to sharing lots of inspiration with all of you in the new year. Kris :) |
