Dining Room Makeover!

My old Dining Room was kinda dark and dreary.  It really wasn’t a welcoming spot for the boys and I to sit at the table and enjoy a meal.  On holidays, I tried to set the table nicely, but the bottom line was…it was dark and dreary.

When your Dining Room isn’t welcoming, well, you end up not using it.  That’s what happened in the old dining room.

Chair Makeover!

When I moved out of the Woods and Back to Town, the Dining Room Makeover was a priority.  My boys like sitting at the table eating meals and I knew that I needed to provide that space.

Chairs are the most important thing in a dining room and they need to be comfortable.  My old chairs, were just old and not comfortable.  Lucky for me, I get a lot of free furniture and I ended up with a bunch of free chairs and decided to swap out the old wood chairs and update a set of chairs to use at my table.

Let me know what you think of the before and after?

We are pretty happy with the after look.  For this project I used Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint in the following colors:

• A color mix of Skeleton Key and White Swan (video on that project here),
• Crinoline
• Faded Burlap
• White Swan
• Sandy Blonde

All of these paint colors can be purchased on my website at CreateWithCynthiaShop.com or by visiting the store in Redwood City.

I hope this inspires you to Create something beautiful.

Make it a great day!

 Painted Furniture Chest using DIY Paint!

The Chest will be moved to my new bedroom soon.  Yes, I’m spilling the beans that I’m moving out of the Woods!  Originally, as you hear in the video, the plan was to put the chest upstairs in my bedroom at the Woods.

Yes, I’m spilling the beans that I’m moving out of the Woods!  But not far away, so don’t worry!  And of course, I’ll still be here popping into your inbox 2-4 times per week.

Hope Chest for Sale!

Of course the Chest is for sale and you can find it on my Etsy page or stop by the store at “Create With Cynthia” in Redwood City, California.

This weekend, I’ll be at Treasure Island, San Francisco, California and the chest will be there too!

The chest will have traveled the bay before it gets to my new bedroom.
