My dining room, like basically all of my house, has been a work in progress for some time. Now that I finally finished painting the Duncan Phyfe table and reupholstering the chairs I really want to finish it all up.
All that's left (fingers crossed I don't get any other bright ideas) is to move this guy into the sun room. It's a workhorse of a piece, I bought it used and have had it forever. My plan is to paint it and use it to hold all my fabric stash and organize my sewing stuff.
I know what you're thinking, "Shelley, what are you going to do with all of your dishes?" Remember this guy I got on Craigslist a million years ago and have kept in my garage ever since?
I'm going to paint his mid-century modern keister and store my dishes inside. THEN I can finally make a most fabulous and beautiful plate wall above it. Have you been wanting a plate wall? I have. In fact I've been collecting plates for about a year in anticipation of hanging one.
See?
Here is a not very good mock up of my plans.
I love what you're planning to do and will watch for the next installment. I know the plate wall will be fabulous. And painting the big workhorse and adding it to the sunroom is, well, brilliant. So is every other idea, for that matter. Your "nest" just keeps getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteThat will be SO so good! I love the mix of vintage/traditional and modern. Colors will be great too! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI hope so! I had different plans for staining the top of the buffet a dark walnut color but it didn't work out :-(
