Too bad – it’s my blog. I told you there was gonna be more of this! So here it is, our dining room in its entirety. Once again, here is the before (AH!). And here it is now:
I was really unhappy with that rug, remember? But then I noticed that all of the crazy orange in our artwork was focused on one wall – there is no crazy orange in that rug, so they were sort of competing. I moved the Marlene Dietrich poster to the opposite wall and that allowed the reds in the other paintings to bounce off of the reds in the rug. I think so anyway – I mean, what the hell do I know? I just like it a lot more now.
I don’t know if you noticed (probably not), but I also changed some of the artwork as well and balanced the collection a little better. I just had to make the choice to remove pieces that were cluttering up the place. I have to do that with everything we own, actually – if you’re in the area, get ready for the yard/stoop sale of a lifetime, yo.
There’s Marlene in the back corner in all her crazy orange glory. So there you go – that’s our dining room! Just wait until you see the work room – I should probably save it for Halloween, because it’s scary in there.
It’s soothing.
