Our front room in the house is huge. It is a combo living room ~ dining room. Originally we had the dining table and chairs closes to the kitchen, but it was cramped. So, I moved the dining table toward the front windows.
Problem
Lots of dark wood antique pieces, dark antique oriental rugs, dark walnut stained wood floors and a red couch. Get the picture? If not see below. Check out the red couch and dark floors here.
Solution One....chair covers changed.
They went from brown to a light grey/green, depending on the light.
Took me a couple hours and two and half yards of fabric. Cutting Corners had their annual Janaury sale and it cost me $10 bucks to change out the covers.
Very pretty! It's amazing how one small change can make a world of difference!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you did all that for ten dollars! I keep saying I am going to change our dining room seat cushions, but I never quite get around to it... You've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lori! The room might be a little dark but it's beautiful. Your furniture is beautiful and so classic. I love the shutters too. Can't wait to see what you do with the curtains. I've always admired your decorating. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! Truly a fantastic job.
