~ Painted The Dining Room ~

We spent our long holiday weekend last week painting the dining room and breakfast nook. I've got the dining room put back together and wanted to share some pics. It was olive green before and I wanted to neutralize it but dang I liked the green better ::::sigh:::: I'm going to have to live with it like this for quite awhile because it's just so much work moving everything. Here are some before and afters:

The black and creme toile goes with anything in my opinion. I have a small collection of plates above the doorway that matches the sheers, it's not primitive but I still like it.

I have been in such a funk lately that I haven't felt up to being cheerful and visiting all of your blogs like I normally do. I was feeling down before Michael Jackson died and then that really threw me for a loop, I feel like I lost a member of my family, silly I guess, but true. I was hoping that doing some redecorating might help and it did help a bit, I just wish I liked it better than before. The breakfast nook we painted the same tan on top, I wanted to tie both eating areas in together, I'll post pics of that in a few days. Oh and this was the first time we used Benjamin Moore paint, and boy is it ever nice to work with, it dries nicer too and the tape comes off easier and everything, I'm sold! This tan is called Lenox Tan in the Historical colors catagory.

That's all for today, have a lovely weekend!
