Dining room make-over

• I wanted to break down all of the changes that took place to transform this dining room from bare and dated , to a classically beachy style.
  
  • The most obvious change is the colour of the table and chairs , I hesitated painting this set for a long time , it was given to me by my mother and it was a very good quality piece . This was a very country flavoured piece , I would never go out today and pick a piece with this finish , "honey pine" so paint it I did , I now cherish this piece as one of my best makeovers .
  • the chairs fabric is also changed , as well I added upholstery tacs to the seats,for more style.
  • Recessed panelling which is my favourite style of wall trimming.
  • Paint colour , reflecting pool by CIL
  • the swinging door was added a charming feature.
  • the wall accessories
  • the two decorative brackets around the window area
  • the striped rug Dash and Albert
  • the ribbon added to the leading edges of the draped
  • new curtain rod
  • new window casings
  • wall sconce lamps

  Lots of work but not lots of cost still equalling lots of style.

Small improvements

Although it has only 6 years since I had chosen this checkerboard pattern ,I have tired of this look . My choices were limited through our builder and tile has evolved greatly in this time . It being such a small area I decided after finding natural slate for a very fair price it was time to rip it out and install a more stylish and durable option , as it is dark = hides dirt , non smooth surface = non slip , great for families pets and winters.
This photo is however the unfinished product , but you can already see what a huge style difference it has made. I will keep you updated with the finish shots asap.
