Why do I fall in love so easy? I'm talking about with decorating? Is it my calling? Or is it because it's just plain fun...and I like CHANGE!
My sister's and I think it's because we were raised in the military and we moved around A LOT! I went to 14 different schools before I was in the 9th grade!
Back to my dining room. I am in love with the new Gray color. It's a custom mix by Sherwin Williams. They call it Mushroom. This Gray looks different at different times of the day and eve. I got this from another blogger that said it was the perfect gray. I agree with her but I don't remember who it was.
After painting, I realized that I would have to change the rug from this red rooster rug...
To this Oriental rug that I found on Overstocks.com
I also changed out the chain sock and the shades on my chandelier from this...
To this...
I will show you how I did these monogram shades in another post very soon.
I also realized that I needed new valances and I fell in love with this fabric from Hobby Lobby.
So made these valances.
The buffet used to look like this...
And the picture/art above used to look like this...

I decoupaged old advertising pages, glazed over that, then added the vinyl saying...after painting the frame.
Before the buffet, the furniture on this side of the room looked like this...
That hutch looked like this when I found it and I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
Things just keep changing!
Here are views of the changes side by side...
I was so used to the saturated color of red that didn't realize the space would look more open and even bigger with a lighter color. The red was fun and played well off of the white trim and kitchen cabinets, but this gray is just soothing and I am in love...once again.
