Breakfast Room Makeover
I've made changes to the breakfast room. Some of you may remember a couple of years ago I did a breakfast room makeover. I had some blue drapes from Target in here but it just wasn't me. I think I kept those for about a week until I took them back.
In the new makeover I tried to make a roman shade and that bombed. This one is actually a faux roman shade. I ended up folding and hot gluing it. It works for now until I want to take the time to try it again and make it correctly. But that's going to be a while! I've been working really hard on "good is good enough". It is sooo difficult for me. I want everything to be perfect.
The above picture was taken in the spring when my peonies were blooming. I got the chairs from TJ Maxx for only 100 bucks each! Similar ones sell for $250 and up. The table I purchased 14 years ago on Antique Alley in West Monroe, LA. It has been painted no less than 5 times.
This is the breakfast room as of today.
I painted the table again. This time in a beautiful gray. It has a slight brown undertone that bothered me for a few days and then I got over it. The chairs are painted in Revere Pewter.
I still plan on adding some white plates on the wall around the silver tray. I also want to change out the light fixture. The current one was once a dated shiny gold color that I spray painted with oil rubbed bronze spray paint. It has worked the last few years but it's time for something new.
I love this tiered stand. I got this at an antique store that was going out of business. I just threw in some hydrangeas that I got out of my yard, pine cones and coffee mugs. As time goes on I find my style becoming more simple. How does your style change over time?
