With all of the other rooms receiving remarkable transformations and makeovers, the dining room was feeling a little sad and neglected. Other than the three swipes of paint next to the drapes, and the drapes being hung, nothing has been done in there in quite some time.
Well, that all changed this weekend when B had a friend over and the friend offered to work. Not one to pass up on some assistance, the room was painted and transformed. And we didn't use any of the three swiped colors, instead opting for something lighter.
That is what I call an action shot. That is B's friend K.
B in action. Those are his painting clothes. That is why he is basically wearing them in every renovation picture we have.The new color:
Time for a before and after sequence:

We plan to replace those white shutter with something a bit darker.
BEFORE AGAIN
AND AFTER...
New angle. Can you see the fish tank in the background? A post about that coming soon, I promise.
And the wall without those swipes.
Now we just need to get a dining room table and we will be all set. But, for now, this will do. Although the original color was not that bad, this color really seems to enlarge the room. Once we get dark shutters and some pictures up on the wall, it will look beautiful!

It looks great! I love that color! Way better than mint chocolate chip! And I love the sneak peak of the fishtank.
yeah, the mint had to go. Actually that is one of the better pictures I have of the tank. It is hard to get one up close, but I am still trying.
Looks great! I love the action shots of the painters.
Thanks Mom! The action shots were the best.
I'd be hanging whoever chose those drapes instead of the actual drapes though.
Unless of course mortuary-chic was the intended decorating outcome...
fingers - always with the kind word. Actually, you are right. They do look kind of funeral homeish. We are keeping them. We are the macabre type.

Is that mint chocolate chip remark directed to anyone I know?
You know Mom loved the mint chip kitchen.

I love the color, great job again B. (and Dani too)
I am in awe on how much you two have done in such a short time, you have turned it from "Shabby Chic" to a Masterpiece and you have only just begun.
You are a crazy commenter now huh?? No, she hated that color. You only liked it because it reminded you of ice cream.
