My new dining room!

Well it's finally done! Yippee!!! I have been wanting to redo my dining room ever since we moved in. Not the furniture but the wall color and drapes. The builder painted it a mauve color and I really don't like mauve. Jason surprisingly liked it so I didn't change it. The dining room is right off of the kitchen so I look at it all the time. I had bought these cheap drapes to go in there and have never been very happy with it. We had a garage sale a few weeks ago and I made quite a bit (for a garage sale anyway) so I thought I am finally going to buy the drapery treatments that I really want with the money. After I bought them I picked out a paint color. (This all goes with the rug that we bought when we first moved in. Obviously those are expensive so I didn't want to change that.) I got it painted on Tuesday and on Wednesday Jason hung the massive curtain rods for me. Thanks honey! I am SOOOO happy with the results. The room seems bigger and I like the chandelier so much more than I did with the mauve. I was planning on changing that too but now I like it a lot! Someday I am going to recover the chair cushions but for now I'm just going to enjoy my non-mauve dining room. See for yourself...........

I love it! Mauve isn't my favorite, either.
