A SHOUT OUT AND MORE PICTURES OF OUR LIVING AND DINING ROOMS

Before anything else,  I wanted to thank Abode Love for the great feature yesterday!

I realized that I haven't shared any updated photos of  our living and dining rooms...

{I finally painted my dining table turquoise}

{Remember the federal mirror from the first bathroom redesign?}

Can you spot any difference?

Yes,  I replaced the suzani curtains in the living room with white curtains to match the ones in the dining room.

I also replaced the jute rug(which is now in the family room) with a cowhide rug.

Thank you again Abode Love!  And thank you all for the sweet comments!

Have a great Thursday!

LIVING ROOM AND MORE OAK

I have mentioned it before and I will mention it again(and probably in the future) that our house is filled with oak wood.  Don't get me wrong,  I have nothing against oak but my problem is the color... 80's yellow oak!  It is so glaring and it outdates the house significantly.  So the question is paint or stain?  I chose paint only because I like the clean look of white.  After having the kitchen cabinets painted,  I hired the same painter(Bob) to do my living, dining and family rooms.  Today, I am sharing some picutes of our living room.

Here it is now:

What do you think?
