I’m pretty sure it was never meant to be a dining room and probably never has been one in the history of this house, but a “real” dining room is something that I’ve wanted for a long time.. And.
I’ve been trying to do it using things that I can keep and continue to use and love later on down the road as well.I’m not done yet, but it’s already had much more of an impact on my daily enjoyment of my home than I ever thought it would..
The first thing I did that really made an impact was to paint out every single ugly dark brown surface in the room.That obviously completely changed the feel of the place..The other huge, major, monumental change came with the rug.
Even though the vinyl flooring in here is very neutral, it still feels so so so good to just cover up a good portion of it with this beautiful rug of my dreams.. I’ve been looking at different area rugs for the last year or so and I’ve been really disappointed by what I’ve been finding.I thought what I wanted was pretty simple and basic, but I guess it turns out I’m a little more picky than I knew I was.. I’m so glad to say that this one came to live with me just at the right time.
Right when I was ready for it!.
This is exactly what I had in mind.And this is one of them.. Taa daa!
OK, I know this is a total.Those pillows are fantastic.
I was just fooling around and seeing if I could challenge myself to make something in that style.I’m not much of a sewer yet, but it kind of turned out..
