hello, home: dining room updates
Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday celebration! It was wonderful to visit family and spend intentional time together. I really enjoyed disconnecting from email and technology for the majority of last week and just resting. I think that's really important to do sometimes.
I wanted to share some of the progress I've made in our dining room! Since I've been off work and Drew has not, I've spent a lot of my time trying to make painting progress on our house while I have my 2nd trimester energy boost :) I want to take advantage of this time being alone to not only rest my mind, but also get some things done around the house! Here is the living room right after we moved in:
And here is the dining room after painting the walls and trim and adding curtains:
Taking away the yellow walls and wood trim makes a HUGE difference in the overall appearance of the room. And the curtains make a dramatic statement across that wall. We still want to take up the carpet and replace it with hardwood floors, paint the baseboards, replace the lighting fixture, add a long console table, and add a bunch of colorful artwork. But things are looking so much better already! :)
