My dining room update has been put on hold, while I have been distracted by vacation, outside gardening and furniture painting projects. Since things are winding down outside, I am ready to get back to my plans. Decisions have been made and I have placed some orders.
First, this neutral floral fabric will be used to recover the six dining room chairs. This should be a fast and easy project, though I have to admit, it has been years since I have attempted to do this. But, I remember it being pretty simple. I just need to find my staple gun :-)
This fabric from Calico Corners will pair well with the chair fabric and will be used for a table runner. The colors will also blend with a foyer rug that is adjacent to the space and some pillows I already made. Or, I may find another contrasting print (maybe a stripe) for some new pillows. Time to get out my sewing machine!
I decided on this oversize clock for a statement wall because it would blend well with the wood tones already in the space. This was my hardest decision, because I couldn't decide to go formal or rustic, but decided to keep the space a little more traditional.
Here is where I am adding the rustic and less formal elements with one of these wood shelves from Pottery Barn and whimsical accessories. I decided on one long shelf instead of stacking two or three and adding height with the accessories.
I am looking forward to finishing this up pretty fast once I start, so look for a reveal post within the next few weeks. An updated dining room, just in time for fall, sounds like perfect timing.

ReplyDeleteGood luck with your project. You might enjoy reading about the "Saga of My Dining Room" http://sweetwaterstyle.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-epic-saga-of-dining-room-part-iii.html I recovered chairs, which led to more redecorating. I hope you have as much fun as I did with your redo!
