Hello everyone~~~getting ready for another Metamorphosis Monday over at Between Naps on the Porch with Susan.I thought I'd share my dining room transformation. My house was very "dark" primitive country for a few years. After painting the walls and beams and bead board, I wanted a brighter lake house look. I made the valances out of sailcloth, and added lots of bottles and shells. The chairs were painted white, and also a blue that I mixed to get just the right shade. The chandelier was painted white, and just recently the crystals and drops were added. The cupboards went from mustard, and black to white. I took up the oval wool rug, and just went with the wood floors.
I removed the dark country accents, and have been adding vintage items here and there. I cannot believe how bright and clean it looks now. I love the blue and green of the bottles and jars on the sills...reminds me of the water just outside our windows.Hope you like the changes as much as I do!

Quite the transformation, Debbie! You have worked so very hard, have slapped through soooo many gallons of white paint, and the result is stunning, girl! I'm so proud of you! :) It's just like being on vacation all the time now, isn't it? lol!

Wow! This is some more transformation! I can't get over how beautiful and bright this looks. Everything looks fantastic. That chandelier is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteI love the transformation!! I decorated in the cottage style for years and then went primitive to only find out it wasn't me. I've been working on painting things to brighten it up in my home. Seeing the photos that you have shared has helped me to be brave and grab my paint brush.

I'm so glad I found you, I too was country/prim since 1983 and now I'm redecorating! I don't know what I'll end up being beachy or shabby but it's so much fun finding out! I'm clicking on following you...
