Painted Dining Room

Hello all. Hope your week is going along nicely. The summer is slowly coming to a close isn’t it?  I am A-OK with that because fall is just around the corner. I even asked The Chef if I could light the fall candle yesterday but he wouldn’t let me.  Soon enough though.

What we did get to do sans fall candle was decide on a color and paint the top half of the walls in the recent dining room makeover project.  The highlight of this project, besides that I’m falling in love with the color is that we don’t have a ceiling trim line anymore. Yes, sadly our dining room had the trim line from when we painted the ceiling more than a year ago. Meaning we hadn’t yet painted the room and it was like leftover paint smears on the walls.

All this time. So embarrassing.

But thankfully Martha Stewart’s Driftwood Grey paint came to the rescue. Painting is one of my favorite things to do on a Friday night at 10:30pm, isn’t it yours? Here is a sneak peek.

The more I look at these walls the more I like the driftwood grey paint color. And you know what I have a feeling it might be because the paint is flat. This is the first room I did in a flat finish. Do you have any flat walls, what do you think of them? I think I’m going to have to flat paint more often.

The dining room project list updates:

Pick out a wallpaper for in between the wall slats
Order the wall paper
Select a paint color for the top half of the room and paint
Decide if we are painting the ceiling or not
Remove blinds and clean windows
Buy and put up window film
Find fabulous fabric for the window treatments
Make curtains (if I buy fabric) and roman shades and hang them all
Make frames for mirror wall art
Buy frames (or find some) for other wall art I have planned
Decide which color to paint buffet and then paint it
Find new hardware for the buffet
Find lamps and shades for the buffet, repaint part of the new lamps
Decide on/find other wall art?
Pick out and buy a rug
Get a new chandelier
Other lighting?
Throw a dinner party to enjoy our new room

I swear that list gets longer every time I look at it. Now we just wait for the wallpaper.
