My artwork for the dining room is framed, and while I made a very simple frame for this canvas, I have to admit that it was more challenging than I expected simply because of the sheer size of this painting. It’s 48 inches square, and I’m only 60 inches tall, so it was a bit...

Matt’s appointment with the functional medicine doctor yesterday was really good, but Matt initially left that appointment feeling disappointed. The bottom line is that after spending about an hour with us, she believes that Matt needs more specialized care than she’s able to provide. Overall, I was very impressed with this doctor, and if you’re...

The post Matt’s Functional Medicine Doctor Visit And Thoughts On The Sunroom Remodel appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

I didn’t have much time to get anything done yesterday because Matt has decided that he wants to start seeing a functional medicine doctor, and I kid you not, it took us four hours yesterday to fill out all of the intake forms, health questionnaires, family health history forms, etc., and to read and sign...

I’m having trouble figuring out the fabrics for the dining room. So far, the only one I have is the floral/bird fabric for the curtains and the backs of the dining chairs. The rest is presenting a challenge for me. Here’s the vision. I had ChatGPT update the picture with my new landscape painting. I’m...

Yesterday, I showed you the progress that I had made on the landscape painting for the dining room, but I mentioned that it may or may not have been finished. I wanted to take some time away from it and then come back and see if there were any changes I wanted to make. And...

Over the weekend, I decided to try to paint a huge landscape painting for the dining room. I’m not an artist, but I grew up with a mom who is an artist and taught painting classes for at least ten years when I was growing up. So while I could have called on her to...

My dining chairs are finally painted and ready for new fabric. As I shared yesterday, these took way more work than I had anticipated, but I think the effort was well worth it. And while I thought they looked so much better yesterday going from the really dark original finish to the white primer, I’m...

Y’all, I’m still working on the dining room chairs makeover. To be clear, I don’t even have two of the fabrics that I plan to use on the chairs yet. I haven’t even ordered them. But I had definitely expected to have the chairs stripped, sanded, primed, and painted by now. As a reminder, I...

Yesterday, I shared that I have been going through all of the inspiring posts that I’ve saved on Instagram over the years to find ideas for the artwork in the dining room. I’ve been saving ideas and inspiration for so long now that it has taken quite a bit of time to go through all...

I’m still working on getting my dining room chairs sanded, primed, and painted. But when I stopped working last night and came inside, I sat down at my desk and started going through all of the artwork ideas that I’ve saved on Instagram over the years. I have a folder with so many ideas and...

The post Options For My Statement Piece Artwork In The Dining Room (Abstract Or Landscape?) appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

Last week, I considered several different options for the dining room walls, including different patterns (harlequin, stripes, two neutral colors, white-on-white with different sheens)… So I put it up for a vote. The vote was overwhelmingly for a solid neutral color. Initially, I wasn’t thrilled with the vote. The two neutrals I’ve used throughout our...
