Dining Room: An updated look

I’ve finally taken photos of my mini dining room revamp. This room just needed a little sprucing up. Decluttering and accessorizing… and new chairs. We needed new chairs badly.

The wall colors stayed the same, and most of the furniture stayed where it was. But I made minor changes like repainting the molding and lengthening the curtains by adding fabric.

Without further delay, here are some before & after pairs!

Over the past few months, I knocked everything off of my to-do list.

• Refinish table
• Replace chairs
• Wash and lengthen curtains
• Fix/patch closed up vent
• Caulk baseboards
• Paint molding
• Organize wardrobe
• Decide what to do with extra chairs
• Hang low coat hooks
• Declutter surfaces

I am trying really very hard to leave the surface of the buffet uncluttered. So far it’s working.

Elise has pretty much transitioned out of her high chair and into this green painted chair. I’m happy to have that ugly piece of plastic out of the room for now.

I picked up this new set of coat hooks at Home Goods some months ago. The clear acrylic hooks are exactly the same as the glass doorknobs throughout our house, so I couldn’t pass it up. I hung them at kid height underneath our other hooks.

The new chairs and table were pretty much the crux of this transformation and the colors definitely work better with the adjoining living room. Don’t ya think?
