Forever and ever ago...

...like in February - oh my - I told you all I'd share with you my lil' "mini-makeover" of my dining room. Well, it is nothing "all that" but I actually had a few minutes today to snap some pictures. Since we don't have an eat-in kitchen - we actually eat in this room everyday and do homework and pay bills, play games - well, it all happens at the dining room table. Hope you enjoy...
Before colors - classic khaki and lobster...
...even though I LOOOOOOVE my red - I was itching to add some of that "new blue" that everybody is using - mine is "seascape" - a valspar color from Lowe's...

...paint on top and a bead board like type paper at the bottom - I know - wall-paper - said I'd never do that again - well, all I can say is NEVER SAY NEVER...

...remember the curtains I showed that I made - store bought panels that I added a couple of patterns to to lengthen them. Also added some colored scrapbook paper to my cabinet...

...found this cute table at the antique mall - love the red crackle finish...

...here is my red hutch that was - are you setting down? - GIVEN TO ME - sort of - in exchange for some of my "decorating advice" - I think I got the GREAT end of that deal...(Thanks Sandy)
...my "faith" sign with my Limelight Hydrangea blooms...

...those tall topiaries I got at Big Lots on clearance a couple of years ago - love how big they are - and my tabletop greenhouse bought at Peddler's Mall...

...filled with some of my goodies - love those cherries...

...an "ancient" fork and spoon - probably from the 70's with a new distressed finish - now I lOVE them...

...my unique black chairs - I love the backs of them - kind of "wing backed" - I also found them at Peddlers Mall already covered with red seats - lucky me!...

..."my bench from an old bed" my sweet papaw made me is at the back side of the table

...and that's about it - just a comfy lil' space that we proudly call the center of our home...

...which serves as a pass through to the rest of the house.
Anybody else been "redoing" lately? I'll show you my "summer bedroom switch" in a few days - once again - I had to get a lil' of that blue in there.
I hope you have a beautiful week!
Cathy
