Dining Room Reveal!

August 20, 2012

Sharing is caring!

My dining room is done! What a project it was. It’s very simply decorated:  Shutters, curtains, table, and chairs.  My clock is actually in there too but I couldn’t fit it in the picture, it was kinda far away.

Isn’t is fun? It works well for little kids. NO carpet or rug under the table. I like the look of them but it is NOT practical with kids. Life is a million times easier with a wood floor in the dining room.  The chairs for the kids are wood and the chairs for me and Daddy are upholstered and soft.

I love this.  I was afraid of color last year and everything was white, black, and tan.  But this year my colors are green and aqua and it’s been so fun!  The challenge will be holiday decorating and making it work.  We’ll see, we’ll see…

I didn’t take a full BEFORE picture but here’s what it looked like…

I have lots of tutorials that go along with this post, although some have not been posted yet.  I’ll update this post once they are all up.

    I *love* how the table and chairs turned out. I’m not usually a big fan of the distressed look I keep seeing on furniture everywhere, but your set looks so good. The ombre chairs were a total stroke of genius with their simple shapes. The table looks so much better white. Great job, Heidi!

    so fresh, fun and inviting! I agree, no rug under my kitchen table either. if i had one, there would probably be something growing on it:).

    Are the shutters attached to anything? Are they functional in any way or simply decorative? I love this look.

      They are just leaning against the wall. I’ve toyed with the idea of putting hinges on them to keep them together but I like the fact that I can move them as I please. Thanks!

    I love your table makeover. I need to know the colors you used. This exact look is what I have had in my head for about a year now—going to make it happen soon . I found you through All Things Thrifty.

    Your blog is just getting me today! Seriously, come decorate my house. For real … it needs some help. I spend all my time snapping photos of people and making art that when it comes to my own space, it’s a little bit of a wreck. You could say I’m that typical artist. I only think straight when my creative space is a mess, apparently.
