Shall we head upstairs?
This is a picture of what the view from the foyer looked like a few years ago…
and now…. I recently painted the risers as well as the metal railings.
The room at the top of the stairs to the left is supposed to be a living room, but it was just not needed, so we made it into our dining room as the actual dining room was too small. What I am about to show you might hurt your eyes… The “living room” when we first moved in with our furniture that didn’t fit too well in this house…
And now it’s our dining room!
Ok, yes, this room was painted lavender. What was I thinking? It used to be our dining room…
And now it is what I call our sitting room. And the cool fabric you see draped on the one chair is what I bought to make pillows for the chairs, and it was only around $7 a yard!
Off of the new sitting area lies the kitchen. It is rather small, and the cabinets are not as nice as they appear in pictures (aka not real wood). I plan to repaint the room, but can’t decide if I want to paint it white and paint the cabinets gray, or paint it gray, and leave the cabinets. Soft blue is in the running as well! This room needs some love and help. Here it is shortly after we moved in and I was into vintage china as I had a ton from my Nana and Great Nana.
Here it is as of now. Love my little chandy I got on clearance at Target from Simply Shabby Chic. Send me your kitchen ideas! Can I paint this linoleum floor? HELP!
