The dining room is finished!

Hello.
I put the dining room back together after painting this past weekend.
I thought I would share just a little more of the room.

I am now looking for a chandelier for in here.
This one used to be black, burgundy, and gold.
It was from my "primitive" decor days.
Hubby painted it white, and I added all the crystals to "shabby" it up.

Bits, and pieces that once graced old porches.
A post, a piece of an iron railing. A water basin.
I found a few of these old half posts in a barn in Indiana years ago. The farmer let me buy them. He would have thrown them on his burn pile if I hadn't rescued them!! The gentleman probably would have given them to me, but I offered to pay for them! We loaded them into the back of the truck, and away I went.
As I was waving good bye, I noticed the man was shaking his head as he stood in his dirt driveway. Maybe he suddenly regretted letting go of such coveted treasures....or maybe he thought I was nuts!!!
It doesn't really matter, I guess...because I'm the one with the posts!!!!
bwhaahaaahaahaaa!!!!


So there you have it.
The dining room.
Painted in it's new color, and all put together again.

    I love it. What a place to play inside when the cold wind blows. We got snow last night...not happy.

    LUUUUUV it, Debbie! It looks so much brighter and airier! You could very well continue on into the living room with this color to pull everything together, couldn't you? It's such a soft, pretty shade!!! :)

    The room looks dreamy with the ruffles and shades of white. I like the bird cage too, it adds a certain charm as well.

    Debbie, I really like that color. Your whites really look good with it too. You and your husband did a great job on the chandy. Don't you wonder what's in all the old barns as you drive by? :):) Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie

    It looks magical, Debbie...light, crystalline, filmy, and fragile...like a fairy princess. Love the chandelier as it is...certainly a good substitute for something you dream of getting...

    Everything looks beautiful!
    Now that I am not on Facebook and I removed my blog (I am missing blogging!!), I haven't been on the computer that much, and have noticed I've missed several of your new posts, so I'm glad I checked this morning. Have a blessed day Deb, your house is looking great!
    xoxo

    I love your dining room Debbie! That new color is so pretty. What a great find those posts were. Most men will just never get what we love about chippy, old patina. They look great in your room.
