I recently did a mini do-over (for my dear mother), organized her dining room that was crying for a little TLC. I would have loved to go all out and do some painting, some window treatment, hang some art, change the lighting etc etc but I only had 30 mins and owner wasn't emotionally ready for the whole 9 yards. I had to do it fast before she could change her mind.
Here's how it went down.
We stripped off the wall-to-wall carpet and the anti-slip rug that was under the carpet.
Took all the furniture out of the room. For the record, I love these leather dining chairs, the intricate workmanship between the panels just blew me away.
Next I organized the room a little.
Table all cleared up.
Brought everything else back in the room. Never mind the rug, I had to clean the floor it kinda got it's way back into the picture.
Found this vase with faux flowers lying around in the house and decided to use it as a centerpiece.
Now those fancy plates that nobody uses but they have them anyway would look good in my picture. Am not so much into cutlery arrangement but did it anyway.
Aerial view of the piece de resistance haha.
The final shot.
Night mode. Love the chandelier and I hate the vertical blinds on the window *cringe*. Now if only my mom would let me paint her walls next time and swap some elegant curtains for those stiff blinds next time, Oh well!
MY DESIGN DIAGNOSTIC FOR THIS ROOM:
1. Some wall art wouldn't kill anyone....you could even display pictures of your children *hint hint*
2. A fresh coat of paint would add so much zing in this room.
3. Get a better centerpiece mom LOL.
4. Those blinds HAVE to go.
5. The baseboards would look so much better if you got new ones.
Thanks for stopping by, till next post. Bye!
