I love the transformation…it’s fun to see the before and after photos. What is the color on the wall behind the sideboard, I really love how soothing it looks! I’m trying to find a similar color to paint my master bedroom. Great job tying everthing together!!!
Hi Karen… I mixed that paint color myself. ;) It’s half Restoration Hardware Silver Sage, Half Kelly Moore Swiss Coffee with a couple of cups of Restoration Hardware Glacier. (to take the tone from the grey/green silver sage side to more of a blue) It always trial and error with me. I hated the way Silver Sage looked in this space. It doesn’t bounce of my hardwood the way it does upstairs with my light carpet. For some reason it looks so light and pretty there but in my dining room it looked more like split pea soup! LOL. My husband laughs at me because I constantly change colors. I simply mixed and used what I had left over in my garage.
Thanks Maria! I feel the same. I loved playing with it but in the end it simply bothered me that it never fit the space correctly. Hugs and thanks so much for commenting! xo
Hi Nal… I painted the chairs like I do everything… veryyyyyy carefullyyyyy. Lol. I wish I could say I know what I’m doing but I simply do everything I can to NOT get it on the fabric. I usually paint with the TV on and someone to talk to while painting. Hugs and let me know if you need any more help. I’ll do everything I can to try and help you. ;)
Thank you so much Paula! Miss you and Sammi. :) We need to get together the next time I visit Austin… Hugs and kisses to you both!
Have a wonderful Christmas! xoxo
Your dining room is fabulous Kristy. I get some idea from your article.I have a question to you,my dining room is too small & want to decorate my room like you.is it suitable color for my room?
I’m not sure what your home looks like Mikha but if it’s something you are wanting to do I think you should go for it! ;) I love the lighter color my white has given to my home. Good luck in your designing and thanks so much for dropping by! xoxo
Hi Kisty! I am in love with your style! ! Do you mind sharing what brand/color/type of paint you used on your sideboard? I just found one for my kitchen and want to paint it same as yours? Thank you!
Your comments about staying true to your color wheel – We built new a year ago. I did a different decor style than I’ve ever had, classic traditional farmhouse???? Anyway, I decided to try blue here. In my late 60’s, I have never had a house I thought blue worked in. I am in love, have carried it all the way thru in some form or other! And I agree, open floor plan calls for good flow. Your room looks great & I can tell it makes you so happy!

I used to love the changes you did on your white hutch every now and then, but the way it is right now is absolutely gorgeous.

Kristy, you’ve nailed it. Your dining room is absolutely stunning.
Awww Bonnie you are so sweet! Thank you so much for the encouragement. Have the best Wednesday and thanks so much again! xoxo
Kristy, can you please share how you painted your chairs to avoid getting paint on the fabric part. Thanks!

Although I’m sure the hutch was fun to decorate, the side table makes the room look more spacious. Beautiful results!
Thank you Debbie! You are so sweet. I really love the piece too… Hugs xo
Well done Kristy…looks fabulous!
Thank you so much Paula! Miss you and Sammi. :) We need to get together the next time I visit Austin… Hugs and kisses to you both!

Hi Sheri, I painted the sideboard with a Valspar chalk paint in ‘Kid Gloves’ from Lowes.
