For the side past times side 2 weeks I'm going to live on working feverishly to refresh my...... DINING ROOM! Here's how the infinite looked on Mon simply earlier I set the tabular array for Valentine's Day:

Let me outset past times maxim I intend this room is slap-up every bit is! I had zero plans for a makeover inward the Dining Room until most three weeks ago. Here's how it went down...

I ever have got an oculus out for vintage slice of furniture that I like. I lean towards a traditional agency of furniture, but updated amongst color, novel fabric, or styling. For quite a piece I have got been wanting to detect a laid of cane dorsum chairs. Well, a few weeks agone this showed upwards on Craigslist-

I loved the shaped together with size of the chairs together with they were inward slap-up status so I bought the set. However, I similar to mix together with agree my chairs amongst the tabular array (I don't similar having a matching set), so I planned to re-sell the table. But, the to a greater extent than I got to thinking most it, I decided that I needed to maintain the table. We entertain often, peculiarly amongst family, together with nosotros ever have got at to the lowest degree 8 adults that sit down roughly the table. Well, amongst my electrical flow table, trying to fit three chairs on each side betwixt the legs is impossible, together with nosotros all terminate upwards squished roughly the table. So, the pedestal base of operations on this tabular array won me over since it volition allow for to a greater extent than chairs roughly the table. And, it has 2 leaves to extend to almost 120" if needed! I volition too state that I had tired of the super night destination of my electrical flow table. Even if I had continued to travel it, I had already been thinking most possible ways to lighten it up.

Now, the tabular array looks overnice plenty inward the Craigslist photo, but the overstep had some H2O harm together with blemishes inward the finish. The residuum of it was inward slap-up shape, though! I too didn't similar how super shiny the topcoat was, so my innovation is to lightly refinish simply the overstep to build clean it upwards together with give it a fresh coat of poly, amongst a slightly less shiny finish.

That determination created a domino outcome (as oft happens inward decorating!). Remember when I simply said that I don't similar to travel matching sets? Well, if the tabular array is going inward the Dining Room, together with then the cane chairs require to larn inward the Breakfast Nook. And the to a greater extent than I persuasion most that plan, the to a greater extent than I liked it because I currently have got vi side chairs inward the Breakfast Nook that would live on perfect to motion to the DR so I tin travel three on each side of the table.

The cane chairs have got iv side together with 2 arm chairs so they wouldn't have got given me the seating I wanted inward the DR anyway (I'm keeping the wingback host chairs at that spot so the 2 cane arm chairs wouldn't have got been able to live on used).

OK, that's a big rambling background on how together with why this makeover is happening, but I wanted y'all to follow my prepare of persuasion (are y'all confused yet?)! Some other fourth dimension we'll utter to a greater extent than most using the cane chairs inward the Breakfast Nook. ;)

Long even out short... we're playing musical chairs, changing a few things, together with keeping a few things inward the room! Things that volition live on staying are the dark-green china cabinet, host wing chairs (but they'll larn a color change), curtains (fabric here), together with electrical flow crystal chandelier. I'll live on selling the tufted chairs, relocating the mirrors, together with storing the onetime tabular array for now, individual inward the identify unit of measurement powerfulness maybe travel it.

As mentioned, I volition motion the round dorsum chairs from the Breakfast Nook into the Dining Room, together with they volition larn a total makeover. They currently have got a semi-rustic woods frame together with that wasn't the await I wanted amongst the novel table, so I'm going to pigment them white together with alter the stuff on them. These are a few images that inspired the white chair/wood tabular array combo- (I pinned a lot to a greater extent than on my Dining Room Pinterest Board here!)

I know for certain that I'm going to add together a fleck to a greater extent than Chiang Mai Dragon stuff to the backs of the circular chairs, but haven't completely decided notwithstanding on the within back/seat fabric. I was originally planning on a bluish geometric pattern, but instead intend I'm genuinely going to larn amongst a solid, maybe a soft chenille or velvet type fabric. I'll know past times side past times side calendar week together with fill upwards y'all in!

One of the novel additions I'm most excited most are these gorgeous sconces from Hudson Valley. I've been fond of these library agency sconces for quite some time, together with persuasion they would add together some overnice ambiance together with soft lighting when installed on each side of the china cabinet. I'll live on sharing to a greater extent than most that side past times side week.

Here's a stone oil persuasion of how the innovation is coming together!

I've been thinking I had all kinds of fourth dimension for this makeover, but afterward genuinely mapping it out these 2 weeks are going to wing by! I have got a tabular array to refinish, vi chairs to pigment together with then reupholster, 2 chairs to pigment the frames on, artwork to figure out together with lighting to install. And everything inward normal everyday life inward between. Yikes! I'm so excited most the terminate result, though!

Here's a total listing of everyone participating inward this Adventure Refresh, brand certain to hop over together with meet what everyone is upwards to today. I can't hold off to meet what spaces my friends are taking on, they all beloved color simply every bit much every bit I do!
