My Plum & Sage Dining Room Makeover: Finished!

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!

Check out here how I redid the dining set!

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!

Jenny Andrews-Anderson artwork..

I have a thing for art.. all mediums and so many different styles. I fell for Jenny's art over the summer and the feeling continues on today! I love her pieces because they seem so alive and would bring a space to life so easily. Bold beautiful colors mixed perfectly. There are 2 pieces in my office that I need to frame and hang still and I cannot wait! Check out some of her other pieces and grab one for yourself - you will love it...

Dark accents..

Lately this look has drawn me in. Clean white walls and neutral flooring with dark accents to really set off the space. Simplicity with a little punch.

Love Love the purple tolix in the mix!

the beauty of purple...

This post is for my Grandma whom we lost a few weeks ago.

She was a lover of purple... her clothes were almost always purple, her bedroom and bath had purple everywhere, purple carpet and lilac bedding and accessories. I am sure she would have loved this! She was a strong amazing woman who made strong amazing daughters and grand daughters and she will be missed very very much. xo

a fresh look..

When I first came across this home it was the kitchen that caught my eye, but I love fresh use of purple with the grey. I had two cabinets similar to these built on either side of my fireplace and I am trying to figure out which paint colors I want to use. Do I go grey to match the kitchen island and then a slightly lighter or darker shade of the same for the walls? Or do I use a creamy white as the backdrop?

The other think I love about this space is the mix- lately I have been loving the mix of modern in with a more relaxed country vibe. What do you think?
