Mom's Dining Room Reveal
Today I get to do my favorite type of blog post… a before and after!
I've been helping my mom make some changes to her dining area. Her home has an open concept floor plan, and the dining area was looking rather dark and drab.
Here is the room before…
And here is the after…
We started by recovering the dining room chairs with a blue and white geometric fabric.
Then we (or I should say my dad!) painted the walls. We used Sherwin Williams' Comfort Gray above the chair rail. The walls below the chair rail were painted white to match the trim of the house. The new paint colors really helped to revive the space.
We added a few new accessories. The ginger jars came from Home Goods. And, the gorgeous prints came from the lovely and talented Jennifer at The Pink Pagoda.
My mother brightened up the existing mirror by lightly brushing it with some of the "Comfort Gray" paint.
We are absolutely loving the new look of her dining room.
Hope you like it, too! :)
