Kitchen Eating Area

Well, this wasn't ane of the projects on my big listing of domicile goals, but it's definitely inwards that "finish what you lot start" category.  Several months agone I made novel drapery for the living room alongside my new fabric but I didn't accept plenty to proceed them across to the kitchen.  I wanted to alive alongside them for a piece anyway to encounter if I wanted to hold it a piddling dissimilar inwards the kitchen or brand all of the window treatments the same across the dorsum wall.  My flooring innovation is real opened upward as well as everything flows together, therefore I ended upward deciding that I wanted some continuity across all of the dorsum windows.  And, I actually liked the fabric!  So, I institute the best toll online for to a greater extent than textile as well as got to work.

First, we're going to acquire way, agency back.  This is what the room looked similar when nosotros source moved in.  

Excuse the mess!  When nosotros moved inwards nosotros had to rip the carpet out earlier nosotros would fifty-fifty position anything on it as well as and then nosotros lived inwards a Earth of turmoil for close a calendar month piece nosotros did tile operate as well as painted the entire trouble solid earlier nosotros had the novel carpet installed.  But, you lot tin encounter the lovely wallpaper, no light, as well as blah everywhere else.    

Here's what it looked similar earlier my most recent piddling re-do:

The curtains were my examine to acquire "neutral".  At source they didn't accept the piddling valance topper but I couldn't acquire used to non having whatever coloring there, therefore I added the dark-green at the top.  The rug...oh...I'm learning non to purchase something only because it's a skillful deal!  No, it's a overnice carpet as well as I needed SOMETHING there.  I dearest our brick floors but they are a piddling tricky to deed chairs dorsum as well as forth across, therefore a carpet helps out there.  I couldn't notice ane I actually liked for the correct toll therefore I bought that ane for a fill-in.  

After some sewing as well as carpet shopping, here's my infinite now.

It was tricky to notice the correct sized rug.  A 5x7 is likewise pocket-size as well as nosotros accept a flooring vent to operate closed to therefore an 8x10 was likewise big.  I live landed on a 6x9 as well as I mean value it volition live only right.  I bought this rug from Pier One as well as hold off to live actually happy alongside it.  I've never had a natural fiber carpet earlier therefore we'll encounter how it goes (and hopefully the wrinkles volition flatten out!).

Striped light shade inspired by Carmel at Our Fifth House.  The light base of operations was a brassy thrift-store find.  I dearest the sort as well as the complete was 

nothing a piddling spray pigment couldn't help!

There was ane to a greater extent than chemical ingredient I was wanting to add together that I showed inwards my inspiration pictures, bamboo shades on the windows.  We don't actually require anything for privacy on these windows, but I similar the expression as well as texture they give.  I chose a matchstick roll-up shade as well as sugariness Ray installed ane of them over the weekend, but ane time it was upward I didn't similar it.  What produce you lot think?

It only gets lost during the twenty-four hr menstruation fourth dimension alongside the sunlight coming in.  I haven't abandoned the idea-I'm going to notice something to a greater extent than substantial as well as less transparent to try.

And hither you lot tin encounter the stance across the living as well as kitchen windows.  I similar how it all flows nicely now.

Even though it's done for now, I notwithstanding accept several things I'd similar to produce inwards that area.  I'm cook for a alter on the wall-maybe some botannicals?  I dearest my kitchen table, accept had it since we've been married, but it needs some freshening upward as well as those chairs are only stand-ins until I figure out what's happening inwards the dining room.  I'm also looking for a smashing textile to comprehend the kitchen chair seats in.  And, we've actually enjoyed having the loveseat inwards at that spot but I'm looking for a settee that's a smaller scale.  So life goes alongside a domicile decorator...nothing is always actually finished!
