6年前I would try removing some pieces like the chalkboard and others one by one. The wall paper is busy and so much else is going on with the other pieces. If you are thinking of changing the color of the table, try different table cloth colors to see which way to go instead of having to commit straight away to paint it.

6年前Ok Melissa...before you rehang any art...would love to help figure out what goes where or what to use....just a quick suggestion....I would not hang any wedding photos in dining room...they belong in your family room or master bedroom..I am sure they are gorgeous!
will you be hanging woven shades to match table finish or black to match hutch?

6年前Sbkitelady...you should read the thread it will help with your suggestions:)

6年前I would actually suggest removing the hutch....can it go in a family room or kitchen.....this dining room is so chic and glamorous now the all white walls really make the room look larger....hang a big French country style mirror to put the focus on the gorgeous chandelier..and reflect it......the window shape and hutch shape are to much the same.

質問の投稿者6年前@home interior with ease thank you for that. I had no idea you couldn't put wedding photos in dining room. I will move it. Do any family photos go? What wall art should i use? Also, would blinds go with the curtains there? I went and got curtains with a black edge, would hate to have to change them again.Home Interiors with Ease
6年前Any wedding can go in family room and master bedroom.
family photos look best in family room.
love the idea of black trim on drapes will look fantastic!
layering woven shades under drapes looks great but certainly not necessary..if you do with the black trimmed drapes doing a woven to match dining table would add a beautiful layer and would add more warmth to the space...
mirror can be whitewashed...warm wood similar to table or antique gold or silver....but nothing black...
does your chandelier have silver or gold metal accents?
also on eBay you can find some old carved wood framed mirrors that would hang horizontal would be nice....can always change the finish..

6年前You need to think of what the focal point is in the room
The wallpaper is now the focal point...it is a distraction to the eye....
Nothing relaxing here....Taylor
6年前I actually really love it. I also think the clock should stay. this room gives me a very sophisticated Alice in Wonderland feel. it's adorable. the only thing I would personally change is the darkening the wood on the table and chairs. however if you dont.. it's fine. just relax.. change is scary. give yourself time to adjust before you make any big changesfelizlady
6年前The dining furniture doesn't go well with the flooring. Maybe a large solid rug will help that.
There is nothing in the four picture frames.
You CAN remove the wallpaper and paint the walls again.Home Interiors with Ease
6年前Does anybody read the thread before they comment:(...so much has changed....gosh that drives me crazy;/

6年前Home Interiors - it is crazy. I was posting in a thread the other day and people were jumping all over the original poster about stuff she addressed way up thread. I'll be surprised if she ever posts again. I wouldn't. It makes us all look like vultures waiting to pick at people's mistakes.

glad you agree:)
I hate to sound like a crab but it drives me crazy.....because the poster really wants to get good feedback as changes are made...so reading the thread really helps...why bother posting if your feedback does not relate to what is going on??
oh well...sure glad I got that off my chest:)))))

6年前I like the wallpaper. The room looks much better with everything off the walls. It looks elegant. I would redo the items on top of the table.User
6年前I love your latest changes. (Yes, I read through your whole thread. haha).
I love that you are painting your walls white. Looks so good!
I agree about removing the wedding pictures. *BUT* if you like it, keep it.
I also like your wallpaper, very chic.
I'm currently re doing my bathroom for the first time, wish me luck!irvine_mercedes

質問の投稿者6年前I have removed the frames off the walls! Now to find a mirror and move my hutch! oh boy. Is the hubby going to kill me when he finds out I made him make MORE holes in the walls for frames, only to have him have to spackle again, cause everything is changing again! lol!! I feel so bad for him. lolHome Interiors with Ease

6年前Wow! Looks beautiful. I can hardly believe what a change in paint color did for the room. I bet you are glad you didn’t try painting that furniture.Susan E
6年前最終更新:6年前Hi, DH and DrDeb1234. Thanks for the advice, but I actually posted several photos and text describing my dilemma (not a link - an honest-to-goodness posting)! I only posted a link to my thread after no one responded in order to try to direct people to my dilemma. And I found out why no one had responded! The post actually posted briefly, then apparently broke, so no one could see it! So my original post with photos was actually gone! I made a fresh post of it, and now it is up and people are responding! :)
Melissa W., sorry for going off-topic here, but I didn't want these two people to think I was only posting links!

6年前Very nice!!!! Your room was always lovely except that it had too much 'stuff' on the walls. The wallpaper is beautiful and added a lot of character to the room. I preferred the blue paint, but if the white really defines the space for you in reality then that's excellent!! Keep the updates coming!!

6年前I agree with the others who suggested less "busy" on the top portion of the walls. And don't be afraid to leave one area blank, allowing the eye a place to rest. Good luck!

6年前最終更新:6年前It's nice as is; however, if you really don't grow to like it -- consider adding wainscoting (white vertical boards or paneling)) over the wallpaper -- at least on the longest wall.

6年前Oh yay! Melissa-I was hoping you’d post “after” pictures! Still loving the wallpaper. The room looks light and breezy. And the topiaries are a perfect touch! Now-your sweet husband deserves a great meal in that lovely dining room!

6年前It does look way better once you decluttered the walls and changed the curtains, but I have to confess that I liked the contrasting wall colour better (in your Jan12th photo). I thought it had an elegant look to it, with character, and worked well with your wallpaper (although the table colour was an issue that likely needed to be addressed). Obviously others (including yourself) prefer the white. It is very interesting how a change in wall colour can alter a space and give it a very different look and feel, and I'm glad you are finding the one that works for you. You've made some nice choices.

6年前I just wanted to add that my comment above was after looking at the updated photos. I was sad to see the clock wasn't there. (unless it was cropped out of the photo)Novem tile and cabinetry

3年前最終更新:3年前Oh gosh, hate to say it, but I like the wall paper! Plan b = paint over or re-paper. I don't mind saying the new white walls are too sterile for a cozy dining room.
