Dining Room Project!

Two weekends ago we spent the weekend painting our dining room. The room we think was a bright pink or red that was painted over with a white or cream before we bought the house. When we bought the house the room was a slight pink hue. Needless to say I didn't want a pink dining room.

Here's what it looked like before (I forgot to get one before we started taping off).:)

We also painted the chandelier in the room (which came with the house). We didn't really like the silver with gold specks.

We rigged up a paint booth for Brian to paint the chandelier. :)

Then here are our "final" pictures of the space. The chandelier is now a dark gray color. :)

And the room is two tones of gray. :) We already had great molding and chair rail, so we just avoided getting gray paint on it.

We want to add window treatments in a bright yellow with a yellow/gray/black pattern. We found some fabric we like, but it's quite expensive...so we'll see what we find.
We are happy with the result. One day we might buy furniture for in there...

One another note, we're getting really excited about going back to South Africa!! If you want to be on our email list for updates on our trip (and prayer requests) just let us know.
