i've showed off my dining room before....but thought i'd share with you all the latest developments in this room! first and foremost, i got new dining room chairs! can't tell you how exciting this is to me! i've been on the hunt for new ones, for a couple of years now. i wanted deep, comfy, wide, stylish, simple BUT inexpensive - chairs. a tall order to fill. i'd find ones i like but then they were $400 or ones that were the right price, but not super comfy.....so i didn't settle.....just kept hunting.....
and then i came across these ones at target apparel....and only $125, which i think is decent for good chairs. they're huge, look good and i love 'em!
before, before:
then, a newer before:
and now, with the new chairs!
i decided to add a couple ikea shelves, so i could display photos, and not worry about hanging them. just laying them against the wall in a layered look....
old aquarium coral....a couple bucks at walmart
create some inexpensive beachy-ness
some pinecones collected on a camping trip in british columbia a few years back....sprayed white as well!
and then.....a 2nd look:
i use this room to meet with clients about their wedding plans, etc.....so i just take down our family pics, and showcase a few fave shots from past weddings and engagement sessions....
only takes a couple of minutes to change out the photos, and the shelving makes it easy to do so!
a room for dining or work!
Love the coral, brilliant!
