Dining Room Designs

Last week I showed you two pretty big projects that we had been working on around here (if you missed them, you can catch up here: rustic bookshelves in the living room and the dining room lamp makeover). Now that these projects are complete, I've been working on plans to finish decorating the dining room. It's only been two years. Not bad. :)

First up, art for the wall: 

 One of the good things in getting ready for a yard sale (My house is looking like a disaster, but a good disaster. I can't wait to get rid of this stuff!) is finding tons of empty frames that are waiting to be spray painted and filled with art.

This is the picture that is inspiring me:

Second thing on my list is the dining room chairs: 

 They need help. I haven't decided on what fabric I want to use - either a pattern or plain. I am hoping to reupholster them myself though. 

The last thing is to hang up a bamboo blind. It's not top priority because we have the curtain, but a blind gives a little extra privacy, especially since we live in the city and are surrounded by neighbours.

So those are some of my ideas. Hopefully I'll get some artwork up and be able to show you on Saturday! I do have one more project that I want to do for that wall, but I'll let you be pleasantly surprised in a few days. :)
