It’s like it was meant to be... that’s how I feel about the changes in our dining room. The board&batten look like it’s always been there since 1895 (the year our house was built). And I love how the whole 1st floor flows together. At first I thought I wanted to paint the upper walls a dramatic grey and tried 6 different colors but I am so happy that I used the same white as the bottom — Super White by BM. It’s kind of a misnomer because it reads like a soft white — not harsh at all. It’s the same white that we used in our kitchen too. I color matched it to the finish on our cabinets from Lowes and it’s a great match. Since we will be snowbound all weekend I’m sure I’ll be rearranging the hutch and adding some pictures to the picture ledge but for now I’m in love.
New year, new .... dining room?? While there’s lots to love in the before (swipe to see the before at Thanksgiving with me standing awkwardly by the table 😆), I wanted to update the chair rail and the ceiling needed some work due to paint peeling. Now, the old chair rail has been removed, ceiling patched and painted, and the installation of board & batten trimwork on the walls will soon commence. We are adding a small ledge on top of the board & batten to allow for moveable displays. This is perfect for me because that basket wall and chalk board were hiding lots and lots of nail holes. Now I’ll be able to move pictures around on a whim. I also went back and forth about the top wall color but decided to stick with the same white as the board & batten. It’s a darker room with lots of wood — doors, floor, table and hutch so I think white will work best especially with the vintage rug and artwork around the room too. Hoping to be all wrapped up by Monday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Christmas decor is all packed up but my Christmas cards are going to stay for a long time. I love walking by and seeing the faces of so many people we love & cherish ❤️
Ok Santa — we’ve been soo good this year ... well, maybe just good. (We did dig some massive holes in the backyard and leave muddy footprints all over the couch) ❤️🎅🏼🤶🏻🐶🦁
