    Decorating the Dining Room

    May 24, 2013 · Modified: Mar 26, 2026 by Ali · 2 Comments

    As you know I have been decorating some of the house before the summer. I wanted it to look brighter and fresher looking. I was quite happy with the dining room as it was but then we had a day where it rained non stop and I found myself with nothing better to do (as if - I just have one of those crazy personalities where I need to have constant change!).

    This is the dining room before...

    Not too bad I hope you'd agree, but it is certainly much brighter and shinier now!

    I painted the feature wall to match the other walls. I painted the wooden door leading to the kitchen white and I covered the table with a gorgeous pink oilcloth. Out of sight in the original photo are the storage units which I updated to look tidier and brighter and finally I painted the mirror for a touch of sparkle and glamour! Nice, bright and airy I think, I hope you agree!
