Dining Room Update

Ok, it's not much of an update, no new paint and still no drapes. However, we did add this new wall art from Ballard Designs...


Love the architectural interest it brings to our blank walls


Still needs something behind it don't you think?

I'm planning to put a very subtle grass cloth wallpaper or do a faux grass cloth kind of wall treatment. I would have to experiment on this one. 


China Cabinet love
And here is the other change - we finally have a china cabinet! It's a whole post again to discuss it and what's inside, but again, I think it definitely completes the space more.



Tada!

 As you can see I need window treatments BAD! But I can't just put some until I have decided on the walls first. I'll keep you all posted about this room's progress for sure!

Have a nice day!

    I love the detail... i love how it complements with the room and not get all the attention. I have 2 wall art too and I can't decide whether to put it in our dining area or not... or right by the kitchen counter arranged vertically... but now i could visualize it with what you've done with yours. Thanks for the inspiration.

    happy weekend,
    Malou

    The fretwork on the walls looks great. I also love the black shades on the chandelier. Looks like you are almost done. Great job.

      Thanks Linda! Slowly but surely, as they say, but I guess with any design and decor love, the work truly nev ends, right?! Happy Sunday to you!

      Me too! I love geometric patterns the most, but this fretwork art kinda' reminds me of home - our home kasi in Manila is coated in Chinese motif, so this one really hit home for me when I saw it. Glad yo love it too!
