I guess I'm a little out of practice
when it comes to putting together a room update post.
I forgot to show you before pictures of the dining room.
I also didn't shoot any close-ups.
Not sure where my head was...
Anyway, here's a few before and afters.

Anyway, here's a few before and afters.
Before...lots going on.
Yellow paint beneath the chair rail.
After...a bit more restrained.
Lightened the inside of the corner cabinets
and painted below the chair rail.
Before.
After.
The other side of the room.
Yellow paint again.
After. Not much difference except for the paint.
Before.
After.
Here's a close up of the yellow striped grain sack.
They are pretty rare but every once
in a while you can find one.
Lavender is also rare...I saw a couple before Christmas
and didn't buy them.
Big mistake!
I found this little yellow bird last spring at a gift shop.
Reminds me of the little bird on my blog logo.
I want to send a huge thank you out to
Terry at These Peas Taste Funny.
She helped me today with my camera settings.
I published this picture of my dining room in the first post.
It was pretty dark to start out...and the editing
just made it look grainy.
Here are the ones I took today...
with the correct camera settings.
I still have so much to learn.

Oh Anne...it is gorgeous...so soft! But did you hear me screaming where is her Bon Apetit Pillows.....I love those!!
Love the new updated look!
So sophisticated and your colors are so pretty. How nice everything looks with your logo and masthead!
You have it so together, Ann.
:)
Looks fantastic!
It looks beautiful, Ann. I really like the change-it is lighter and brighter and I like the blue plates against the wall.
Great picture. Amazing what a difference it makes using different settings on a camera. Something I have yet to learn. xo Diana
Your dining room looks so much lighter with the yellow gone from below the chair rail. Do share what you had the camera set on in the new improved pics.
It looks lovely Ann. So calm and relaxing.

Love the updated dining room walls, looks much lighter...Also like the yellow bird and nest on your table, it does match your logo.
I love what you did to the dining room -- it's so classy and refined! Great job!
beautiful, your room has so much character, its elegant yet cozy , beautiful soft colors, love the pops of brighter color here and there, it brings it all together.
Your dining room is charming and beautiful - pat your self on the back for a beautiful spiffing up, and don't sweat the small stuff. (: LOVE the yellow birdy!
Changing the chairrail colour and the inside of the china cabinet sure made a huge difference in your dining room! It looks so light and fresh now. Pamela x
Gorgeous! I just love the change to the lighter colors.
You are so talented! I just love your home and would love it if my home looked as good as yours. The yellow bird it is too cute!
Really lovely work. I really love the inside of the cabinet painted in a light color. Very fun project.
Fondly,
Glenda
Very beautiful, Ann! The after looks restful and peaceful! Love it!
Gorgeous Ann! I've always loved your dining room.
PS-- almost forgot, LOVE those lamps!!
Love the lighter, brighter look! What changes did you make to the camera settings?
It's amazing the difference that painting the inside of the cabinet made, and your wallpaper looks even prettier now with the white below the chair rail!
Wow - your camera skills are really getting to be something. I could see the difference between the photos very clearly. I love the inside of the cabinet painted - great little change!
It's beautiful Ann, just beautiful
Please share the cameras settings, I'd be so gratedful.

Gorgeous! Love the new color, how you lightened your cabinet (I have one I need to do that to!) and your chair cover and pillow are so pretty!
Do share the camera settings...how did you do that!?!
What a difference the paint has made in your room. I like the changes you made with accessories as well. I'm surprised at the difference with the camera settings. I don't know anything about that stuff either.
I love the "more restrained" look! The little bird!! LOVE it! Didn't notice him in the last post. And, I think I need to go get help with my camera settings like that. Wow. What a difference. Isn't it fun to still be learning new things? Have a great day. blessings ~ tanna
Really pretty changes. I liked the splashes of red too, but this is such a nice change.
You know I love this room. And the little yellow bird is so sweet. Love those blue plates against the yellow, too.
P.S. I'm hoping you'll share the camera settings.
The room looked lovely before, but it is nicer now. I am always afraid to paint nice furniture, but I love how the lighter inside of your cabinet turned out. Beautiful!
Gorgeous updates!
There is nothing like a little freshening up!! :) Crisp and clean. Nice.
I really like the white paint below the chair rail which is funny because I thought I like the yellow beforehand. The white is REALLY nice though. I also love the lightened up look you got by painting the inside of the cabinet. Such a small change with huge impact. Everything looks great!! (nice pics, lol)
Your room is really pretty. I love the yellow, it's so refreshing.
The china hutch really looks good with the back painted. It stood out quickly to my eyes! I love those tall skinny lamps too. I like your new way the pictures are laid out also and your fabrics are wonderful! That's a great runner you found!
We are truly kindred spirits. I love your style, dining room and all. Thanks so much for sharing at Restyled Sundays. Ann
Just lovely! Love the new camera shots. I too, have so much to learn about photography. Hope you're having a grand evening. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
