Was Dining Room Now Living Room

party highlight by The Painted Home

prepare for the longest post for the smallest room in history...

When we moved into our home this past July this room was the dining room.

But, since I wanted to seat lots of people I switched the dining room to the living room.

Now we have a good size dining room and this little room we call the den.

this room used to look like this

yes, very red.

But with a little time, and even less money it has become one of my favorite rooms in the house.

it's perfect for morning time, when the kids first wake up.

they grab a juice or whatever and head to the den. {it's right next to the kitchen, which you may never see pictures of}

love this little table, which I found in the trash and painted white.

The lamp base was also a trash find, with a shade left over from the previous homeowners {cover in burlap with hot glue}.

I'm currently addicted to these little flowers which I learn how to make from Emily at 

Jones Design Company.

see, teeny

this was the original dining room chandelier.  I spayed it black satin 

{while it was still hung}

shades 99 cents from Lowes with clothesline trim

Armoire from my son's room in our other house.

yes, another trash find {4 of them}

Grocery sign my girls made with sharpie markers

You can see a peek of red wall paper below the sign from before the bead board was installed.

{Painting over wallpaper is a whole 'nother post people}

Brown ticking panels, now living their 3rd round of life in a whole new spot.

Soft seagrass-ish rug I just snagged at IKEA for a steal.

{but for reason of "creative financing" I'm pleading the 5th on the actual cost}

Green shutters I love, and yes, found in the trash.

{I think I might need to start a service where I drive people around on trash days and show them all the good trash spots, right?}
