Rickerson Residence: Dining Room

The Dining Room Before

The Dining Room After

The biggest change to the dining room were the windows.  We took out the small window and put in a larger one and we also closed in the window that was along the wall by the front door.  We kept the same chandelier just spray painted it black and added shades. 

As far as the furniture…the dining room table was given to us for free!  I love it because it has two more leaves so it can seat a lot of people.  And we of course painted it black and I recovered the seat cushions (a while back).  I have been meaning to re-cover the seat cushions, but I have not gotten around to it (in the last 2 years).  The black piece of furniture was my grandparents, once again we painted it and added knobs.  I love it because it used to hold their record player and it is perfect for that!  Only it holds our ihome, works for us!  The mirror is from Canton (was gold, now black).  The curtains are from Ikea.  The rug is from Pier 1.  I believe that I have blogged about my little serving cart before, but it also was from Canton and it got a little makeover. 

So that is our dining room!  We have enjoyed many special meals as this table!

I love the green in the dining room. The rug is so pretty...love the chairs too. It is amazing what paint can do isn't it.

We used to live in Rockwall, TX and used to go to Canton all the time! I miss it!! There are no great places like that here (Seattle area.)

Have a great weekend!
