I’m going to paint the dining room. I know it hasn’t been more than a year or two that I picked a very dark red wine sort of color for that room and although I liked it when I first did it, the novelty of it has worn off and I’m ready for robin’s egg blue. I looked for a chandelier yesterday and didn’t really find anything that I could get excited about so I guess maybe I’ll repaint the lamp yet again and see if I can revive it.
So tune in as my wheels keep turning and we repaint the dining room and add some crown molding. I’m having dinner here on Sunday so I have to wait till the following week to start painting because I sure don’t want to have the dining room torn apart before the dinner. I keep looking at the furniture and it is just crying to be white but since it belonged to my grandparents and has sentimental value I keep fighting the urge to paint and will keep the cherry color… But I’m hoping it looks better in a robin’s egg blue room.
Here is a photo of the dark dreary "before" dining room shot....

Kay... I love your crazy quilts! The work is wonderful!!! Thanks for visiting my blog. As far as my artwork goes, I just opened up a little shop in Vintage Village in Snellville, Georgia. I usually post my items that are going in and if someone is interested in one they let me know. I also do special orders with a verse or quote that you like or I use your pictures to make a piece.

I love the DR set and see why you are torn about changing it. I have a small side table my dad made when he was in high school and I would like to paint it also, but just can't seem to start the job. It is over 60 years old and my dad passed away when I was 19 so it has great value to me. I do know that even if I do paint it, it is still the table dad made. I love your blog...
