Tweaking the Dining Room


I have finished painting my dining room!
As I look at my pictures,
I am noticing this was more of a 
"tweaking"
exercise than a major change.
After all, I did only go from yellow to darker yellow.


This was the color I started with,
a bright, "lemony" yellow.


Note the rug.


In an effort to get "less fussy"
it is going away.


Actual painting is not really a part of the job that I dislike.
It's the total chaos and disorder you live with 
while you're doing it.


Getting started by doing all the hand painted edging.


You can get an idea of the color change here.
This darker yellow is a more mustard yellow.


Finished!


I have replaced the oriental rug
with a natural jute one.


I like how my recently painted
pop against the new yellow.


By the way, the yellow love seats
in the living room
will soon be slip covered in 
an off white fabric.
(Isn't it amazing how one change
brings about lots of
other changes.)






One spring project done!
A hundred more left to do…

I really like the new color! I had mustard walls in our dining room when we first moved in. I liked them, but I was out voted. Now they are a deep red. But I still like mustard. I have been thinking about changing out the Oriental carpet for a sea grass rug too. Enjoy your beautiful room!

Big Texas Hugs,

I love your "tweaks" and I can't wait to see the slipcovers - it's all fabulous. After seeing your mirrored doors, I'm going to put a mirror in an old window for a bedroom redo. Thank you for sharing!

I love yellow! We just finished painting our breakfast room and kitchen a lovely shade of yellow, SW Humble Gold. Very pretty!

That yellow is beautiful. I like how it makes the woodwork glow. Nice choice.

My name is Thomas White, from United states, i have been Herpes positive and it is just like been through hell; well special thanks to God almighty for using Dr Twaha, the greatest Herbal doctor in curing my herpes disease. I was diagnosed of this disease in the year 2004. Although I was taking my medications I was not myself. Until a few weeks ago. My friend came to me and told me that he saw many testimonies on how Dr. Twaha  cured people Herpes disease. Although I never believe in herbs, I said to myself "seeing is believing" I took his name and searched it on GOOGLE, I saw many testimonies myself. Quickly, I copied his email: drlregbeyen10000@gmail.com I emailed him, he gave me a form to fill which I did, then he sent me a message  and told me that he required some items in which he will use in preparing the cure for me and he told me that it will cost me some money which i sent to him because I need the cure urgent,  He bought the items and prepared a cure for me, then he sent the parcel to me through courier delivery service. I paid the courier services, I got my parcel, it was a bottle of ointment as described by Dr,Twaha After taking the ointment he told me to do, the herpes test and the result came out negative. Quickly I messaged him and told him what happened he congratulated me. I promised to tell the world about him. You can contact him with any problem  via email: ( drlregbeyen10000@gmail.com ) or contact him on WhatsApp +2349038518881 thank you Dr Twaha
