I love complaining to you guys. You may not love it so much, but I almost always solve my problem immediately after hitting ‘publish’. Which is exactly what happened yesterday. You should be a therapist.
As you’ll remember, I was upset that the wooden built-ins in the dining room were too dark and too wood and altogether too sad. But then I realized I was fighting things that could not be changed. It was time to embrace the dark and embrace the wood and then maybe it wouldn’t be so sad. And behold:
That is one fine a$$ lookin’ dining room, and I don’t care what anyone says. It’s dark, it’s kinda moody, it’s magnificent. And when I put it next to a picture of the living room, worlds collide into a rainbow of Skittles.
All I need now is a new coat of paint on the wall, bamboo shades in the built-in and an amazing painting to keep the fun, bright stuff moving around the room.
Life is complete. Done and done.
I like it lots! Very nice flow! I think that a home shows a lot about a persons personality and I too get all giddy and proud about my decor skills! Even if no one else feels the same about my home swagger;) (not saying that about yours at all!)
Oh I definitely have home swagger about this room now.
But Keith reminded me last night I’ll be ready to change it again in a few months.
Lol. My husband says I do the same thing! And the fun thing about us being military is when we move I get the joy of redecorating with an excuse:)~
Beautiful, good job.
Try a print over the mirror in the built in. Something like the print on wall. It might make the black hole effect disappear. The room looks great!
By George, that is brilliant! I love the blinds in the built-in and the wall paint color makes a huge difference. Well done!
