…but I promised myself I would post pictures today. My plan was to warm up and fill the room! It echoed before! I planned on RE-using and RE-making things I already had and to only buy a few yards of fabric. I stayed with in my goal except for 2 special purchases this weekend from GW. You can check them out in the last photo.
BEFORE-
And AFTER….
some details..
The current centerpiece
The window treatments. It was difficult to get a good pic during the day…
Since my budget only allowed for a few yards of fabric, I could not afford an ‘real’ ceiling medallion. But I did have this frame. I hot glued it to the ceiling and filled it in with pages from an old encyclopedia. 
OK…so maybe I broke my own rule and spend a little bit of money. I bought this sweet little squirrel jar and these bee hive salt and pepper shakers this weekend at GW. I ABSOLUTLY could NOT pass either of them up! $6.00 total!!!! They are sitting on the table my father made for me! I think they are the perfect addition!

Your dining room looks so warm and inviting and LOVELY!!! I wouldn't be able to pass up those two finds either, too cute and a great price to boot! I think what you did on the ceiling looks better than a store bought ceiling meadallion. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat makeover! I'm getting ready to reveal my dining room too, but I keep seeing all these great ideas from other bloggers I want to add to mine :o) Great job, I'd love to sit down to a meal here...

The ceiling medallion is so creative!! I also think that framed piece on the back wall with the "R" is beautiful!
