Dining Room.....update in the Rental

     All of us know the The Nester and are in love with her use of color and great design ideas. My family and I have moved again, 6 times in 7 years of marriage and this time we decided to rent.  Reading her Content to Rent, I made the decion to paint.  I'm so glad that I did.  Here is the before:
Although, I'm not Content to Rent...I actually hate it, at least I feel a little at home now.  The power of paint is a wonderful thing.   First things First, I ripped those curtains down, 1992 is calling....they don't even touch the ground.  I stored them safe in the attic to put back if they want....lets hope NOT !
Also carpet in the Dining Room, why is that ever a good idea?
Wall color is Comfort Gray, Sherwin Williams
Drapes are mistreated Ikea white panel drapes, I cut the tabs off and use Hobby lobby rings.
I'd love to rip down the fan but I think that is over stepping my rental lease, so it is good enough for now.  Thanks for looking ;)  Here is a few more pics.


I'm still working on a table scape.....and the season is about the change...so I hold out hope for next year.

Always a project left over....I can never really post any room is done.
That little person would not leave the room ;)

  1. Your dining room is beautiful! You did a great job of picking a paint color and redoing the room. The light color makes your dark furniture really pop! You accessorized it very nicely, too. I love it.

  2. love the wall color. I would suggest you paint your buffet so it doesn't get lost in the sea of brown wood furniture. Some drum shades and some spraypaint would really update your buffet lamps.
