Our dining room

Here it is at long last!! This room took the longest to finish, but I think its my favorite! I've thought about lining that back of that bamboo china cabinet with a wallpaper, we will see! It's mostly done for now!






This was actually a TV stand I found in the trash when we lived in Okinawa! I covered in contact paper and stuck a wine rack in there and viola! The candlesticks are from CB2, mirrored tray from Target, and the owl picture is goodwill.

Chandelier is from overstock but they have it at lowes as well, I spray painted ours a cream color.

Chairs from Ballard and the table from Thailand and wall color paint is behr anonymous from home depot!
