My dining room was very Pottery Barn circa 2000 with red walls. It was a lot more formal than my current taste. I wanted to change it up and have it flow more with our home and my current taste.

I love your dining room so much. It caught my eye because the paint color is so similar to mine, and my dining room is definitely still "in progress". Am definitely looking for inspiration. I especially loved the chandelier AND the curtains. I have already purchased the curtains for my family room (thanks for the idea!) and am trying to convince my husband to get the chandelier. You are so talented!
gorgeous friend!
Elaine, your dining room is amazing! First of all it's bigger than they usually are. You are so lucky to be able to fit such a long table in there. Love the gray paint and all the special touches you've done in the room.
Wow! It's absolutely beautiful and so timeless!
Thank you so so much!!
That is so sweet. Thank you! We do a lot of the hosting for holidays at our home so when we built I did a long dining room so we could fit everyone!
Thx sweet friend
Awe, thank you!! You are too kind! So sorry I am just responding. My blog messed up for awhile and didn't show me the comments??
