The saga of the dining room may be coming to a close....
I have been pinning like crazy to my Dining Room Pinterest board and
one picture in particular has been providing inspiration...

Have you discovered The 36th AVENUE? I LOVE this blog.
Her rooms are simple, bright and beautiful!
So...I have been painting, Craig's-listing, dreaming and pinning!
The first thing that I did was list this hutch on Craig's list...
As much as I liked it, it was just not working in the space. I had painted it a pale
blue and found that I was planning the whole room around a color that I just didn't love.
I flipped that piece of furniture for this piece of furniture....
Can you see the potential with me??? {as well as my vacuum cleaner in the reflection..oops!}
I have never bought anything at an auction before and I saw this at a
youth mission trip fundraising auction....talk about stressful!
If was me verses a 75 year old man for this piece.....UGH! But, I won!!
A lot of people gave me that raised eyebrow..."What are you thinking" look, as
I hauled away my loot, but here is a sneak peek of what I've been doing with it....

I am just GIDDY with how it is looking!
As for wall paint...I have my color picked and am waiting for 9 AM tomorrow when
True Value paint goes on sale...Buy One Get One FREE!!!! I have a
whole LIST of paint that I am planning to buy this week!
My goal this summer is to finish all my half-completed projects with the dining
room taking priority.
It has only taken me, what...six months???
It's going to look oh so pretty! And I agree...Desiree's blog is stunning!!

I love 36th Avenue, she has more talent than belongs in someone that teeny! She is amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with that hutch. Good luck on your projects, and your chairs look great!
