Since it’s spring this week, I thought I’d share a party I hosted a couple of years ago for my sister-in-law. My dining room back then was very light and bright. I loved it.
It got me thinking that my dining room has changed a lot in the short 3 years that we’ve lived here. Let’s take a trip down memory lane to see some different decorating attempts. So this is what it first looked like after renovations.

Then I got the cabinet from Pottery Barn and shortly held that little party above for my sister-in-law.

Then I wanted to start to create a cleaner look. I got some new dining room chairs {woot woot}. I painted the walls this grey/green color. Actually I wanted it to be more grey than green but it didn’t work out. I thought it was okay at first but now I’m wanting to go back to something lighter.

It’s also my goal to restain the top of my table and paint the legs.

So stay with me and I will show you a proper before and after soon. I’m planning to repaint the dining room and the table sometime this spring!!!
Have a great week!

We founded a great store that sell furniture.
My dining room has gone through countless transformations over the past 12 years we have been in this house! I like the way it looks now, but I still have plans to change a few things! I love to see how yours has changed! Life to the full, Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle
Thanks Melissa! I don’t feel so bad now. I’m husband thinks I’m crazy that I keep wanting to change it LOL. Have a great week!

It’s fun to see our rooms in photos and how they evolve. You have a lovely dining room, nice and large for many to be able to gather around your table.

OMG I LOVE the hutch…where did you find it? It’s just perfect for what I am looking for in my new home.
Thanks so much! We got it at Pottery Barn. It’s a modular set so you can build it the way you’d like. I can’t remember the collection name but I know for sure the stain is called Tuscan Chestnut so just add that name in the search box on the PB website and it should come up 🙂
