Just last weekend I picked up
my two botanical pictures from Hobby Lobby…I had the mats changed.
They were the last pieces I needed to finish off
my dining room update.
Not a huge change but things are lighter now.
I made new linen window panels and recovered the chair seats.
I edited the items on either side of the mirror.
My blue ball jars in the
metal carrier I purchased from the petite market on Etsy.
Before Christmas I found this grain sack with yellow stripes on eBay.
I couldn’t resist…they are pretty rare so I scooped it up.
When I took down the L-brackets that held
the old window valance the holes were pretty big.
I tried to fill them in but it didn’t work too well on the wallpaper.
The plates were an easy fix
and thankfully cover the holes.
The chairs look a bit lighter with the new fabric.
I would still love to make slipcovers for the backs…
not sure when that will happen though.
This Thomas Paul print is also on
2 chairs in the living room.
Hopefully I will be showing you that room soon.
I like the way it all turned out.
Not a big change…just refreshed.
I’m closing with pics of our little dog.
My kids have voiced their disappointment
that she hasn’t been on the blog lately.
Liddy and Steven…this is for you.

Oh, this is just gorgeous! Just gorgeous! Did I mention this is gorgeous? We like the same colors, I can tell. Love all that pretty yellow. Hope you have a great weekend!
I agree, that yellow is so pretty. Very nice job, Ann, but then you've got the greatest of taste so it's no surprise. Always nice to see Kelly. :)
Your dining room is both beautiful and classy! You have a very elegant style compared to many, including me, I like it!
Hugs, Cindy
It looks wonderful. So light and soft but still with plenty of presence. Very Nice. I am still in love with your color choices in the upholstery and pillows.
Ann:

Ann, Your dining room looks so good. Love your choice of fabrics on the chairs/pillows. Great idea to use the plates to cover the 'character marks'on your wall. I gotta remember that trick. Have a great weekend,

Freshened very nicely!!! blessings ~ Tanna
Beautiful, Ann! I love your bright and cheery centerpiece and what fabulous fabric! The new floral prints are the perfect addition, too!
I love the new chair fabric and the lighter curtains. Nice new look. By the way, months ago when you showcased your corner cabinet, I asked if you knew the name of your glass ware that you have in it because my husband inherited the same thing. If you know, would you share with me? Thank you.

This is wonderful, Ann. So much brighter. When I first saw it, I thought of understated elegance. I'm trying to refresh my dining room too. I hope it turns out half as nice as yours! Cute pup!
Your dining room is lovely and so inviting. I would like to see a close up of the yellow stripe grain sack I bet that is just beautiful. Have never seen a yellow one before.
Your dining room looks so lovely. It's bright and airy with just the right touch of accessories.

What a gorgeous dining room, Ann! I love your pretty furniture, and all the new lighter and brighter touches! I just put grasscloth wallpaper on my DR walls, and I'm scared to actually hang anything up on it! But, your botanical prints and pretty plates may be just the kick-in-the-pants I needed :)
