This past Sunday, I met my family at Terry Black’s Barbecue for an early lunch as my bonus sister and her husband were passing through town. I had never been there before, although I’ve heard the rave reviews about their food for a long time now. As a side note, the food lived up to...

Before I get to the final dining room table paint color that I selected, I want to stare that I’ve decided to finish the dining room completely before I start work on the storage room again. Last week, I was planning on painting the dining table and then turning my attention to the storage room....

I started working on my dining table makeover yesterday. I was so hoping that I could get it finished and move the table back into the room so that we could see the table and my new flower chandelier together, but I didn’t quite get it finished. And after beginning the first coat of paint,...

My DIY air-dry clay flower chandelier that I made for our dining room is finished! And I’m so thrilled with how this one turned out. I kind of wish that I had saved the chandelier for last so that I could have pictures of it in a pretty room. Right now, it’s literally the only...

As you know, I’ve decided to build new benches for the dining room. I’ve had this bench and artwork arrangement on the walls flanking the pantry doorway (which no longer has French doors on it) ever since the first iteration of this room. And then when I did the colorful makeover of the room and...

Last Friday, I told y’all that I had lots of options as far as what I could work on over the weekend and I wasn’t sure which direction I would decide to go. Well, the decision was kind of made for me. What I really wanted to work on was the storage room. I wanted...

The work on the storage room by my contractor’s workers is done, y’all! They got the old concrete board and subfloor up and installed the new subfloor. And yesterday, they finished up the drywall. So this project is now officially back in my hands to finish up. It always shocks me a little bit to...

Yesterday, I showed y’all a mockup of my dining room that I did using ChatGPT. I’ve done a few mockups of various areas of our house (mostly exterior ideas) over the last few months, but I think this was the first time I did an interior room and got ChatGPT to implement my ideas accurately....

I have a few random updates for you today because I now have progress to share on both the dining room and the storage room. I’ll start with the dining room. As I often do, I allowed myself to do what I really wanted to do yesterday rather than what I should have been doing....

I finally feel like I have a vision for the dining room, and I have all of the details worked out. So after a week of feeling stifled and uninspired, I finally felt anxious to get started yesterday. I didn’t get a whole lot done because, as I took the shelves and TV off of...

The post Dining Room Progress And New, Updated Drapery Fabric appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

Last week was such a slow week. I didn’t make any real progress on anything because I’m still waiting — waiting for my contractor to do his part on the storage room, waiting for fabric and air-dry clay to arrive so that I can get draperies sewn and my chandelier made. But I was also...

Since I’m in a holding pattern with my storage room (waiting for my contractor to do the new subfloor and drywall) and with the dining room right now (waiting for drapery fabric to be delivered, waiting for air-dry clay to be delivered, waiting for inspiration to hit for the gallery wall and new benches, etc.),...
