Kitchen eating area is changing to sunroom!
Comments (16)Lisa- Thanks! I'm really excited about the table. Your kitchen is going to be amazing and a dining room that feel like a sunroom....what a great space! Stephan- That is so nice! My love of CL and thrift store finds is the key to staying on budget (LOL) so vintage is a perfect fit. Rebunky- Yes! Too much for the kitties, there will be no seedlings in sunroom. Especially on the floor...but that table is cute! Love the bunnies...and I think a little Peter Rabbit fabric and maybe a few planters may find their way into the remodel. Nothing too much, but just a little whimsy :) I don't know if I mentioned this (long week) but my SIL and her husband have very graciously donated their old cabinets for our kitchen remodel. They're white (which I like) but our uppers are wood....so we may be painting the uppers. My mom is ecstatic! So, I guess it's a good call, but we are keeping the wood trim and some detailing and will probably use the vinyl "wood" floor planks or tiles. (Shhhhh....don't tell Fori.) LOL But we will still have lots of colors, fabric and overall fun in the finished kitchen. And the dresser will have an even better location! More to come, later...I have to redo my little floor plan, but now it's back to gardening!...See MoreHelp with paint color for eating area of kitchen
Comments (8)I'm a little curious as to why you are looking for a golden color? I'm seeing blue, pink and white in your window treatment, and a only small amount of yellow in your tablecloth. Are you going for a French country, deep golden color, or more of an off white?...See MoreFireplace makeover- White wash?
Comments (21)Art lovers usually start with an art work and choose paint colors and furnishings that harmonize with the art. However, you're going the other direction since you already have your furnishings. First of all, you'll be looking for a vertical piece that will cover most of the wall above the fireplace. What subjects do you think you might like? What's the palette in the room right now? (Wall and floor colors?) Landscape? Skyscape? Abstract? Realistic? Start to think about this. Look at what Beverly and Olychick posted. Notice how the art and curtains pull the eye away from the massive TV and balance out the space. I like the color block idea that Beverly chose. We haven't seen enough of the living room to make a call on this. Good luck!...See MoreEat in kitchen/dining area decor heeeellp
Comments (29)I’m thinking about painting the area white dove and changing out the chairs to make it more off white. I’m also going to remove the leaf from the table to make it a little smaller. I’m may also change the flooring to match the rest of the first floor which is a dark brown wood plank. Pictures will be coming down....See Moredecoenthusiaste
