I know many of you are probably just now getting used to the idea of brass hardware (I know it took me a hot minute), but now all of the top interior designers are swearing that chrome is back! I basically got about half of the replies saying to spray paint them, and the other half agreed with me in keeping them chrome.īelieve it or not, chrome is very hot in the world of high-end interior design again. You see…on my Instagram stories(by the way, you can show your support by clicking here and following me) I did a poll where I asked you guys if I should keep the legs as is or spray paint them black. I know this is an extremely polarizing decision, but I decided to take a design risk and keep the legs of the table and bench in their original chrome state (I purchased the table when we lived in our first house years ago). The macrame table runner also adds a punch of texture while establishing some boho flair. So, I was sure to incorporate a jute rug into the space, layered with a cowhide rug on top. I was trying my best to avoid a b*tch fest.īecause I was going with a very monochromatic look, I knew texture was going to be extremely vital. ( Okay…he wouldn’t have killed me, but I never would have heard the end of it). Basically…my husband would have freakin’ killed me if I had decided to switch this stuff out and replace it with completely new decor. So when I began working on the re-design of this room, I had to style around the existing beadboard ceiling, capiz chandelier and dining table. You can read that detailed tutorial by clicking here.Īt that time, I had also already replaced the light fixture with this capiz chandelier. Of course, you could accomplish this with wallpaper, beadboard or picture frame moulding, but I decided to go all Joanna Gaines with a farmhouse staple: shiplap!Ī year within moving into our home, we addressed the atrocity of our popcorn ceilings by covering them with beadboard planks. In my opinion, the second best option was creating architectural interest through textured walls. So, when you can’t inject the beauty of natural light with windows…what is the next best option? Ideally I would have installed windows on the focal wall, but our mudroom is located behind this wall so I was sh*t out of luck with that idea. Not to mention, other than the puny chair rail, there were no architectural features on the focal wall. Popcorn ceilings and outdated wallpaper were not doing this room any favors. Just so you guys can fully appreciate the transformational journey of this space, I wanted to refresh your memory with a “before” photo of what the room looked like the day we moved into our 1980’s fixer upper three years ago…. It seems like this day has been months in the making ( hell…it probably was), but today I am finally revealing my Modern Farmhouse dining room makeover with you! And…if you want to know where I purchased any of the pieces used in this room, be sure to scroll to the very bottom of this post where I have listed links to each piece of decor.
