Our red dining room was looking tired. Time for a makeover...but what started as a makeover has turned into a 'makeover in progress' (damn). Things just aren't there yet...What I like: I'm enjoying the gallery wall because each piece is special to us in some way. I'm digging the grey curtain panels because they were on clearance at Bouclairs for only $17.99 (always a factor). And I'm loving the grey walls because grey is my new favourite paint colour. This grey is called 'escarpment' from Benjamin Moore (the only paint I use). It's clean and fresh and seems to go with any colour.
What still needs to happen: I'd like hard wood floors (it will happen). I'd like some new chairs (why didn't I notice that there's too much black furniture going on before?) and I'd like to see a couple of my mirrors (grey shag, round) on either side of the french doors - I'll get on that tomorrow. So stayed tuned...

the grey definitely freshens it up. Looks fab so far!!
Thanks Designwali,
It seems like my big ideas, for this room, fell a little flat.
The 'ultimate' goal is always to 'completely' finish one room and then move on to the next (lol).
Cheers
Nice makeover! When's dinner?
( Would seat pads in a complimentary colour help diffuse the black? Or is that passe?)
I'm thinking do I start painting things or get new chairs?
It never ends!
