Dining room makeover

My dining room was the first room I completely redecorated. I added wainscoting (picture frame boxes), painted TWICE, made my own curtains, and then worked around my MIL's old dining room furniture to create a room that we love. Full details on my blog.

    The curtains (made from some discount Braemore fabric) are my favorite part.

    A year later I was ready for a more neutral/modern look. So I repainted white under the chair rail and a light gray above. And did some more redecorating.

    Thanks, everyone! The curtains are my favorite part too! They help tie in the wood furniture (which I can't paint or alter right now) with the more modern gray and white and wainscoting.
