It's taken me a while to get a chance to write this follow-up post because this has been
a busy year for me! My work on my new jewelry instruction book is finished and the
book is now in the design stages, so now that I am finished working on that, I can
get back to blogging a little more often, Yay!
Anyway, a while back I did a blog post about how I painted my dining room table and
chairs black and recovered the seats with pretty new fabric in the colors that I had
planned on redoing my entire dining room in: sage green and plum. The dining set was
originally painted an ugly hunter green with burgundy seats - yuck - a look that
screamed 1980's. I was thrilled with my newly redone table and chairs, but I still
hadn't even painted the room!
Well, it's finally finished! And aside from adding a few more things to the walls
(that takes time!) I thought I would share with you my new look. I love this color combination because I think it compliments vintage style very well, but it still
has a modern, contemporary look that is very stylish and current. The plum and
sage are a hint Bohemian - maybe an unusual color choice for some, but its
what I always wanted so I made it happen! Check it out!
BEFORE:
This photo of the dining room was taken right when I purchased the house,
before I even moved in...
AFTER:
My new look! I am in love with this color combination!
Here we have the awful green and behind it the sleek new black!
Here's a finished chair. Note the old wall color behind it. Yuck!
My swanky new dining room! I got the area rug and plum sheers at Target!
Love!
What do you think?
