I'd like to get two more of the oval chairs to use where the bench is and just move the bench somewhere else and I'm still pondering wallpaper or at least painting the walls a charcoal color but haven't gone ahead with that. And as I mentioned in the Rolling Cart post a couple of days ago I'd like to eventually find a hutch for in here and move the rolling cart up to my office. Other than that though, it's really starting to feel so much more finished. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6nY38ubxJlyMYPmm73CSYxES-igjSxMBYidmDuV56FOnu9AZQ5M8CCLD4BU1-YpzQvpfYlB_jjHD-Ox55qYhRhaO2iTDYslxI0CstICg2B3FvX07FAlBNm5bCDO-bo9SrZliO4vxjnyr/s1600/aDSC_2712-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6nY38ubxJlyMYPmm73CSYxES-igjSxMBYidmDuV56FOnu9AZQ5M8CCLD4BU1-YpzQvpfYlB_jjHD-Ox55qYhRhaO2iTDYslxI0CstICg2B3FvX07FAlBNm5bCDO-bo9SrZliO4vxjnyr/s1600/aDSC_2712-2.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNJFyvjbHXtUuTfS-jSQYcFdyvg3AzkyGxXDwlHKc5yakGEfq66-Yfxv-e_2Io5iilH_CTjI3phcfbCnibaOmnTA5moBKBYAFjRMlKBrQV9v9KeYaXUaqeVFAnRLGwFt1TCtNECuKyb6gc/s1600/aDSC_2666-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNJFyvjbHXtUuTfS-jSQYcFdyvg3AzkyGxXDwlHKc5yakGEfq66-Yfxv-e_2Io5iilH_CTjI3phcfbCnibaOmnTA5moBKBYAFjRMlKBrQV9v9KeYaXUaqeVFAnRLGwFt1TCtNECuKyb6gc/s1600/aDSC_2666-2.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcAE5NmM2uXAac6id3Z6Zt75v1tBeqCHKRd3gVB3rQ_6T2ScxTuCiixR23_1D_7OxWKCwlt1xD2OSyqg3EIDv_JM0b39wN_HxmrpBzVBYOsygDevwbgqV1lQds_Rg6Xd741kHxljR16Tf/s1600/DBeforeandAfter5b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcAE5NmM2uXAac6id3Z6Zt75v1tBeqCHKRd3gVB3rQ_6T2ScxTuCiixR23_1D_7OxWKCwlt1xD2OSyqg3EIDv_JM0b39wN_HxmrpBzVBYOsygDevwbgqV1lQds_Rg6Xd741kHxljR16Tf/s1600/DBeforeandAfter5b.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggz54L8IkTkrTLPrRLbfMUF1t5pd-XQgDOcIAhMf0206sfDJFuCmTj5xWueNdc3_jvUwYfgihB56J0oylII-jUY1z1wmckIQUl16b8CifOJvtkvbaE28_Usu6MjNhAKafQM4o_RO0rGZn2/s1600/aDSC_2731-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggz54L8IkTkrTLPrRLbfMUF1t5pd-XQgDOcIAhMf0206sfDJFuCmTj5xWueNdc3_jvUwYfgihB56J0oylII-jUY1z1wmckIQUl16b8CifOJvtkvbaE28_Usu6MjNhAKafQM4o_RO0rGZn2/s1600/aDSC_2731-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the photo below you can see the wallpaper I am thinking about going with:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUeTzwy1u4CkETMAAz8WwfRk19RmLRTpBlC91dU98uaUBjSC8ibeo6u48yf5DpN_Gatsi69fCEbDL7TXh0c6TlzNCpDpNQ__P88y3Dl9b9LaiErLvkb74-znqRbmXjE59UJ9M1Jr6waJA/s1600/aDSC_2723-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUeTzwy1u4CkETMAAz8WwfRk19RmLRTpBlC91dU98uaUBjSC8ibeo6u48yf5DpN_Gatsi69fCEbDL7TXh0c6TlzNCpDpNQ__P88y3Dl9b9LaiErLvkb74-znqRbmXjE59UJ9M1Jr6waJA/s1600/aDSC_2723-2.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnDBFKh-f0WMV8kW-t78drJwJu3czbeOW66VZ2LObrzZ6idLiEHk3Q1ugfeNkxJAkvlvB3Dw70qEoVv3-VNV4qVHxnXtQCxdmA4Iij1nC21T3Hbw8y3PvPBJC4xEDElfChIq1JXSEs0MVz/s1600/aDSC_2702-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnDBFKh-f0WMV8kW-t78drJwJu3czbeOW66VZ2LObrzZ6idLiEHk3Q1ugfeNkxJAkvlvB3Dw70qEoVv3-VNV4qVHxnXtQCxdmA4Iij1nC21T3Hbw8y3PvPBJC4xEDElfChIq1JXSEs0MVz/s1600/aDSC_2702-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a close-up of the wallpaper.

We've got quite a few projects going on right now - our upstairs hall bathroom is getting quite close to being done (well, not done but updated quite a bit!) and I've been priming and painting the trim in the little back hallway, the laundry room, the upstairs bathrooms. My goal is to have all of the trimwork in the house painted by the end of next week. I am not sure if that is a reasonable goal though. I will still have lots of touching up to do throughout the house and the playroom and master bathroom walls in a few weeks and then I will be able to take a nice little painting break and get to work on some actual projects for each room! And then eventually I do need to tackle painting inside all of the closets but I can't think about that right now without going a little crazy - haha! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the meantime, I've shared a couple of cell phone shots on <a href="http://instagram.com/dearlillie#">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dearlillie">Facebook</a>, but I hadn't taken any "real camera" photos of the updates we've made to our dining room until a couple of days ago. We haven't made any major changes since I last shared images of this room <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/our-christmas-table-setting.html">at Christmas</a>, but we have done a few little things. First, when I was working on one of the bedrooms upstairs I needed some white drapery panels. I had bought these gray ones but they just didn't look quite right. I ran downstairs and stole the white ones from the dining room. Once I did that, though, I had some empty rods hanging here so I thought it couldn't hurt to try the gray ones down here. Even though I don't necessarily think it works perfectly with the wall color (I think the curtains, walls, bench and sideboard are all a bit too similar) I think they worked well enough to keep. I've been on the hunt for the perfect wallpaper for in here since we first moved in and still haven't found it yet, but once I do and once I add some more touches to the sideboard that will add some interest so things won't all blend together as much as they do right now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After adding the draperies I moved the table back to the original way it was and then added this bench underneath the clock. And then I added some hydrangeas and that was about it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK9WYS7B7qIn9SqJXXzsj3wXuRWx72EQdS8GCaeT1d4edAIKWPjhdIxyJ4QBidhIKLCPfEQMxqGmTz0TTeJwXFxgecwEezuqjVKlWaQle_Iyj8Z0yJDT6yqq1fmDQLUQYoEsvfNI86BUo/s1600/uDSC_5075.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK9WYS7B7qIn9SqJXXzsj3wXuRWx72EQdS8GCaeT1d4edAIKWPjhdIxyJ4QBidhIKLCPfEQMxqGmTz0TTeJwXFxgecwEezuqjVKlWaQle_Iyj8Z0yJDT6yqq1fmDQLUQYoEsvfNI86BUo/s1600/uDSC_5075.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNXN0UfEdFtctbijsXmz4O2DtDKf0pIlfjD-HjmAp2xdpZTtCGcrW_yKvm0dpmAyvU4G9NkRlXK-MtInnBOBqwdBLhkCnCd8AZGD45KQkp70LIcHULGivl21rxrED1b_8AVxi9MWSXOjg/s1600/uDSC_5039.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNXN0UfEdFtctbijsXmz4O2DtDKf0pIlfjD-HjmAp2xdpZTtCGcrW_yKvm0dpmAyvU4G9NkRlXK-MtInnBOBqwdBLhkCnCd8AZGD45KQkp70LIcHULGivl21rxrED1b_8AVxi9MWSXOjg/s1600/uDSC_5039.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYOfoD0M5PEr3TlsE-eiJe0m5R_7GmvWxTDX8cHnOnCKs1NTOBcOXp-yjQFcrWtUj57g8J1gUmP58hFXbErd_nNp0Bg8zYjtP3Ot6eaA3VIfI5cah3llm_mZg4YFybvPJQ8MNzUoUkx0/s1600/uDSC_5037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYOfoD0M5PEr3TlsE-eiJe0m5R_7GmvWxTDX8cHnOnCKs1NTOBcOXp-yjQFcrWtUj57g8J1gUmP58hFXbErd_nNp0Bg8zYjtP3Ot6eaA3VIfI5cah3llm_mZg4YFybvPJQ8MNzUoUkx0/s1600/uDSC_5037.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mleMnxrJsn8Ns1HlDDEwYYNO8gR8xT1FsuHRCRJW4jrd6i5-w6V7jMCDcupByrJ512H46uu0IG7K0iho6XHlWolrVx7Ihlu3kpnOwjdFEogjX8dHcBxcWUKbzeuVgGG2KFvjChBPSZo/s1600/uDSC_5045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mleMnxrJsn8Ns1HlDDEwYYNO8gR8xT1FsuHRCRJW4jrd6i5-w6V7jMCDcupByrJ512H46uu0IG7K0iho6XHlWolrVx7Ihlu3kpnOwjdFEogjX8dHcBxcWUKbzeuVgGG2KFvjChBPSZo/s1600/uDSC_5045.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a little reminder of what it looked like when we moved in.

First I brought our bench in from the kitchen. We actually used it with this table in our last house and now that we've recovered it, I thought the stripes would add a little bit of interest in here. Then I added a runner from Target. It wasn't really long enough but I had trouble finding what I was looking for and I liked the color of this one. The three votive holders were from Target as well and I added some fresh cut boxwood from our yard and sprinkled some ornaments along the runner. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtogR09yR5Hpr5f11qwcONwkCwbh-szq9qv2EHtWjs95bLyvZi8CSUEwiEW3HZwrAQM2m1-hY7KYTzmbN-UnXGih00k6VTgjgXWo7xhq0hTX_L86xO_sluyI1kt6SuTNE5MEOO4ZHSjU/s1600/qJuly_5340.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtogR09yR5Hpr5f11qwcONwkCwbh-szq9qv2EHtWjs95bLyvZi8CSUEwiEW3HZwrAQM2m1-hY7KYTzmbN-UnXGih00k6VTgjgXWo7xhq0hTX_L86xO_sluyI1kt6SuTNE5MEOO4ZHSjU/s640/qJuly_5340.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivZvLuXbvqR-p4RVVevystI2hIW8HQ4Rb9tee9H0-jh65Sh-X_0kcn8tW3UhCtke567y9qSHPIhDYxHhI_WrVJjhCF3FA6t2uRrIeJhMBGPxq8Vg2qEnzzR4ODxTw3Vpr2dFwy77T-_4Q/s1600/qJuly_5274.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivZvLuXbvqR-p4RVVevystI2hIW8HQ4Rb9tee9H0-jh65Sh-X_0kcn8tW3UhCtke567y9qSHPIhDYxHhI_WrVJjhCF3FA6t2uRrIeJhMBGPxq8Vg2qEnzzR4ODxTw3Vpr2dFwy77T-_4Q/s640/qJuly_5274.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7SYWzoNuxtQswDVElq21JAI4Fegxh5lVzdpqRcwheYgwPOYWE8zQOF-nUsc0TVRwNvLqVCXa_lp7C8I0h-sz8YLd4rUv386zZ48YaiHj2w5DiVx7B9VpHpjr-dnjvfcFjNB1wZP6l4pg/s1600/qJuly_5252.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7SYWzoNuxtQswDVElq21JAI4Fegxh5lVzdpqRcwheYgwPOYWE8zQOF-nUsc0TVRwNvLqVCXa_lp7C8I0h-sz8YLd4rUv386zZ48YaiHj2w5DiVx7B9VpHpjr-dnjvfcFjNB1wZP6l4pg/s640/qJuly_5252.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> At each place I used our beautiful place settings that Mikasa sent us. It's called the <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/Mikasa-reg-French-Countryside-Dinnerware/102966?Keyword=french+countryside">French Countryside Collection</a>.  I love the simple elegant look of this collection. It goes perfectly both in our kitchen and dining room and mixes and matches nicely with the other dishes we own. I am so excited about it and would definitely recommend it! My mom actually has this exact set of dishes that she uses in her home. I also used the beautiful flatware and glasses they sent as well. The flatware is the <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/65-Piece-Avalene-Flatware-Service/prod156370176/p.prod">"Avalene" pattern</a>. It has a fun pattern to it that still has a very classic feel. There is a lattice motif at the bottom and a band of beading at the top. And I really like<a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/1/35294-mikasa-barmasters-24-ounce-stemless-wine-set-of-4.html"> the stemless wine glasses</a>. I've never had any before and I love their design.

I started looking for a sideboard and hutch pretty much as soon as we moved in this summer and for the last several months this room has been pretty much empty except for the table. I regularly checked craigslist and our local consignment and antique shops in hopes that something would turn up. Finally, after months of looking I saw this at one of the consignment shops. It's actually a media cabinet but it works perfectly for what we needed in here. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHyJi4COr63IouYhrJPnRPi7LyT52j5NMgDKyxyu82Rs74uEb7LVw0KvD0jNzm3TyOaC1z3f04ewRgDfI2Nehs3-fk7UUx8serx0AI8qcvpsDu9ngIazmB6hyzNz3_va6X2nqATM8PUo8/s1600/aJuly_4242.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHyJi4COr63IouYhrJPnRPi7LyT52j5NMgDKyxyu82Rs74uEb7LVw0KvD0jNzm3TyOaC1z3f04ewRgDfI2Nehs3-fk7UUx8serx0AI8qcvpsDu9ngIazmB6hyzNz3_va6X2nqATM8PUo8/s640/aJuly_4242.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I originally pondered not painting it. In fact I left it unpainted for a couple of weeks trying to decide if I should paint it or not. In the end it was just a little too red (it's hard to tell that in the photo but it had a reddish/orange tinge to it) and didn't go with the wood of the table and chairs so I pulled the trigger and went ahead and painted it with Annie Sloan's French Linen from our sponsor <a href="http://ladybutterbug.com/">Lady Butterbug</a>. They ship their paint so quickly! It has arrived each time just two days after I ordered it. And I LOVE this color. I need to repaint our kitchen table and am pretty sure I am going to use this same color. I haven't waxed the sideboard yet but I do plan on doing that at some point. Once I got it painted I knew I wanted a set of lamps. I have always loved the look of two lamps on a buffet. We had that in our first house and I always kind of missed it in our last house. I ran into Home Goods hoping they might have something but honestly wasn't expecting to find anything. I first saw these ones but passed by them because I saw one that I fell completely in love with. Unfortunately though, there was only one so I went back over to these. I didn't think they were as pretty but for $25 I figured it couldn't hurt to try so I brought them home fully expecting to be returning them the next day. Well, once I put them on the sideboard I decided I loved them. YAY!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few before and afters of the piece and the dining room in general.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHOSUOB5va9WoSIlMk64qCoBtEb8sYYEJZ9zFNaiwo0oe9IDgrRlFAB3edFZa1ZcqGBhsiP8lGRDcSExEdtJDV2QGOfL40TUlnmDNVePu79-VyxBieEVW4BmeLdS6sAw5yNHAFARlY_r0/s1600/fDBeforeandAfter5b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
