Traditional Dining Room

Hello Everyone!

It's time for Metamorphosis Monday.

It's hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch.

In March of 06' we moved in our newly built home.

It was so exciting to start the decorating process.

All the pictures are clickable.

This is our formal dining room before paint.

I cannot tell you enough how important I think color

and paint are to a space. It's amazing what it can do.

After my paint color choices.

The deep Gold is called Chicory and

Cooper Molero Fandango Red is the warm red.
They both came from Lowes and are no longer in stock.

I checked yesterday since I knew I was going to post this.

Paint colors come and go over the years it seems.

The table before any decor' and accents were added.
A rug, runner, candles and florals were added.
Here you can really see the paint colors divided by the chair rail.
I have been asked if we installed the rail and flooring.
It came standard with our floorplan along with the hardwoods.
The table is from Ebay. The lamps are from Lamps Plus.
All the accessories and mirror are from Kirklands. Our chandelier is made by Quorum.
It's from the Coronado collection.
I like the look of detaled ceiling medallions.
I bought it at Lowes and it was $20.

Don't forget to paint your ceilings.
This color is called Applesauce Cake. Here's a before and after of our china cabinet.

This past week I figured out it had built in plate rails.

It only took me three years to notice them.

Isn't it funny what's right under our noses sometimes?

Have a wonderful week!
