Dining Room Refresh Without Starting Over!

Is your dining room looking a little dated?   Not many people can afford to toss everything and start over, right?
 
If you have followed this blog for a while…you know I like to use what people have.  In this case, Jackie had too much matching brown furniture…and she wanted a more casual feel for their Southern California lifestyle.  
These were photos she sent me so we could work together by e-design.

Jackie wanted a new foyer flush mounted light fixture and because I can’t help myself…I said “Hey, what about painting your oak coat rack and front doors, too?”  Cute dogs, by the way.

And AFTER
…her husband got to work…what a wonderful man!  It’s not easy to get guys to paint stain.  Looks more coastal.
Here is the mood board…
And after …
the walls and ceiling were painted and RH Botanicals hung…

 

The brown chest that was here before was replaced with a lighter console….with lots of room for serving food or setting up a bar.
The chairs were recovered on Ralph Lauren Pemba Lapis. 

and RH host chairs added.  Oh, and the big difference, I think, was the china hutch was painted.

We still need the curtains hung just below the moulding a…but hey, these guys did a lot…Bravo to them!  
Jackie, you may want to put the pretty candle sticks back on the table.
 

 

And we used things they had…like this mirror.
 
Thanks for visiting.
