I could use some help choosing paint for my dining room
Comments (1)Just an opinion...I'd paint the vertical sides of the tray with the Wheat Grass and the horizontal (ceiling) parts of the tray with white....See MoreI just painted my dining room Benjamin Moore Newburyport blue.
Comments (1)Cream linen or blue and white? Or white and cream? Love that color! I have it in my powder room and am seriously considering it for my DR. Incidentally, I 've white wainscoting, white slip covered chairs and dark brown table. I have an oriental rug. What are you planning for your floor?...See MoreI need help deciding on chairs for my new dining room table
Comments (18)Hi Wanda- Please, please do not buy chairs from the Internet. Chairs have to be comfortable and sturdy and made to last and support even big people. You are much better off going to charity stores craigslist and tag sales looking for sets of chairs made of solid wood and recovering the seat cushions and painting the wood. These stores have so many of these sets now! It is so easy to cover a chair seat and not difficult to learn how to paint the wood or you can leave the wood the way it is or just sand and varnish it....See MoreMy living room needs a refresh. Current paint is SW Pavilion Beige.
Comments (10)Great recommendation on matching paint with chairs. I definitely agree with the oriental rug suggestion. Lighting for this room is not an issue because we have tons of windows on both sides of the room. Thank you so much for the feedback! To Patricia: I also thought the chandelier was very heavy and ornate when we bought the house but I have grown to love it. Apparently, the original owner had it shipped from Austria. It’s quite stunning at night....See MoreOlychick
