New and improved dining room!

I promise, I haven't forgotten to post "after" shots of the house. The painting is all finished up and we are slowly putting things in their places. I WILL post pictures of everything when I get it just right! I'm working on a few projects and I hope to get a lot accomplished this weekend since the weather is going to be so nice. But for now, I'm going to show you the progress in the dining room. It's not completely finished, but it's put together enough that you can get the idea...and I was too excited about it not to share! If you recall, from my previous post with all the "before" pictures...this is what the dining room used to look like:

Soooo boring! I just didn't know what to do in here and I just tried to ignore it! I'm so happy I got rid of that mirror! I don't know what I was thinking!

This has now turned into this:

My apologies for the iPhone picture, but I told you I was too excited! So, like I said, it's not completely finished. The pillow isn't staying there. That pillow is off my bed but I was trying the black and white out to make sure I still wanted the black and white pillow I have my eye on at Etsy. And I'm not sure if the stuff on the buffet is going to stay there or if I'm going to replace it with something else. I even added something else to it right before bed last night...I kept walking up to the room and staring at it because I was so proud of it...and when I put the new thing on there, I squealed and told David that he HAD to come check it out! And I still need to get something for the table. I'm thinking about a runner just like the one I have on the buffet and a centerpiece of some kind.

Oh! And that buffet used to look like this...

Do you remember my $50 consignment store find!?! I don't have all the knobs for it yet because I'm still deciding on which ones I should use, but you get the idea. I'll do a better before and after shot of this later as well.
