Except not a chair.
When you think of a dining room, you think of it coming with a few basic things that make it a bit of a special space for special occasions and fond family memories: A chandelier or some kind of special hanging light fixture, pretty flooring, maybe some built-in cabinetry to hold china and crystal.Usually, in an old house, you get all these things and then some, but we’re just really dealing with a blank slate here.
A lot of new-build houses these days are being left without these basic dining room fixtures as well, so it’s neat that if you’re in a new build like that, we’re kinda in the same position!.Despite lacking all of these basic dining room amenities, I have to say that I absolutely love the way the room looks and functions now, so if you have some of these same “problems” that we have, or have weird floors/ceilings/walls like us, here are some tips to still end up with a room you love if you’re not quite ready to do a full reno where you rip everything out, and start fresh..Whether you have weird, slightly askew paneled walls like we do, or just perfect, but plain drywall, painting your walls a color that you love will really make a huge difference.
Everyone says it because it’s true!I stuck with the same color I’ve been using almost everywhere in my home lately and it didn’t let me down!
As soon as this color went up, the room started to feel like “me”.
And you don’t need to stop with the walls!There was a bit of an empty spot and I thought something like this would fit the bill for the harvesty kind of theme she had going on.
Plus we home decor types just seem to love ladders for some reason.Every time I post a picture with one of my real old ladders in it, I seem to get roughly 3000 compliments on it.
So another ladder is always a good idea and I gave it a try.. Well, it worked!It did turn out pretty cute, but it’s a little more creepy and Halloweeny than harvesty.
