A little bit of paper…

The paint in the dining room is up on the walls.  We ditched the dark brown and beige for a light blue. I picked up a gallon of Martha Stewart’s “Enamelware” and supplies from Home Depot. I love it!

See that big brass chandy hanging in the middle of the room? Well, I’ve seen tons of chandy re-do’s on Pinterest. From covering the entire thing with wooden beads to spray painting in as it hangs in the dining room. Honey would kill me dead if I tried either of those. Especially spray painting it black while it hangs from the ceiling. 

So I decided to gussy it up with a little bit of patterned scrapbook paper.

See Tootsie? She really wanted to help.

Who knew the ‘candles’ are just plastic sleeves you can easily slide off? Just wrap the patterned paper around the sleeves to give a little visual interest.

Another piece of the dining room puzzle that got a new cover was the inside of the china cabinet. It is a beautiful piece and I am thrilled to have it. But it was too dark.

Nothing that a little wrapping paper can’t handle. Simple scotch tape was used to attached the paper to the back of the cabinet. I love how the baby blue stripe almost blends into the new paint color.

Here’s a peek to the finished room.

Only a few projects left to a brand new dining room!
