My friend Krystal (see The Favor of God) has been blogging for some time, and encouraged me to do so, too.
So what am I going to blog about? Krystal suggested the home improvements my husband and I have been working on. We live in an older house that needs some updating. We've been doing small projects for some time now, but we're hoping to complete some big things, like putting in our new kitchen and finishing the basement.
To get started, I'll post before and after pictures of our dining room. We did this a while ago, but I want to share them anyway!
Dining room before:
I painted it red shortly before my husband and I started dating. I wanted something bold and fun. But I grew tired of it. Also note the chandelier. It came with the house, and I wanted something a little more modern.
Dining room after:
And another view:
The beautiful color is Sherwin Williams beach house. We painted our guest room this color too, and it's the happiest tan we've ever seen!
The chandelier is an oil-rubbed bronze finish. We've since replaced several other light fixtures to coordinate.
Yeah for blogging! And congrats on your first post! The dining room looks awesome and the new light fixture is WAY better than the old one! The red was definitely dramatic, but I do think the tan is quite soothing. Can't wait to see more pictures!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! This will be fun to read about all your home improvements and life.
ReplyDeleteThe red was pretty, but the tan color is happy! :)
