Lightening and Brightening is the Name of the Game!

Our dining room had previously been used as an office space. The walls were dark and the light fixture was a ceiling fan. Also the bottom half of the walls had a dated design that I was just not a fan of. In theory it was not a bad design, but when installed the outlets were not accounted for and therefore one of the outlet covers had to be cut strangely. The dining room took several steps to go from where it started to where it ended up. Our first step was to paint the walls. Changing from dark red to a light and airy blue made a HUGE difference! I also painted the dentil molding. That was NOT an easy job, but I just couldn’t get rid of the molding and it had yellowed greatly so I couldn’t leave it as it was.

Before we moved in
During the kitchen remodel. See how dark that room was!
After painting the walls a light blue.
If you look closely you can see the outlet that was not accounted for.
Close up of the outlet cover.
Our yellow and red plates do not go with the new look, but oh well.
Look from dining room into living room.
See how much brighter with just a lighter paint!

Time to pause here and move onto other projects, but the dining room will get more love later.

Until next time,

Leslie
