The Dining Room

My favorite color to date. Not the before, but the after. I guess if you could care less about my monologue, scroll to the pictures :) If you want a play by play, here it is!

The dining room was a decent color to begin with. It was a two toned room with a painted ceiling. (Apparently color painted ceilings are a thing that I'm warming up to.) When we chose the kitchen and dining room colors, originally the thought was for the current dining room color to go in the kitchen but I was afraid it was too dark and was afraid to jump.....shoulda coulda woulda now, cause Josh refuses to repaint the kitchen. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the lighter kitchen color and the richness of the dining room color. As mentioned previously, the kitchen was Comfort Gray (not gray at all really) so that means the next shade up for the dining room is..... Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay! I would use thus color everywhere......ceilings, walls, doors, stairways, ha! Just kidding, but seriously.....this color is no mistake. As stated previously, I'm cheap....actually frugal. That word sounds better. So, Lowes color matched and this is their Ultra Valspar paint. The ceiling remained the taupe brown color that it was previously painted because it matched fairly well and I'm not ready to mess with it. 

Here's your before and after.........

Now to the good stuff; those beautiful wood pieces! I wish I was a superior decorator like some of my friends. I wish my photos looked like they came out of a magazine or off of Pinterest. But Alas, I have two children 3 and under........

This GORGEOUS dish cabinet was made by none other than my dad. Yep! He made it years ago and it is now lovely eye candy for my dining room. So be jealous.....it's one of a kind and it's mine.

The next big piece? How about a beautiful wood stained farm style table. This is actually my inlaws. Josh grew up eating at this table, and while there is currently no room for it at their house, there is plenty of room at ours. He was kind enough to sand and re-stain it for us and it is perfect for the space. (We may hold it hostage for a long while) 

So there you have it.
