Work in progress ~ the dining room

I've posted over and over about getting rid of the red in my home.  I want more neutral colors.  The last room that had to be addressed was the dining room.

Before -
 During -
 And a glimpse of where 'after' is headed -

This blue fabric is a real stretch for me. I've never been much of a 'blue person', but the greens, tans and browns go great in this room and the adjoining living room.

Kids had 2 extra days off of school last week, prior to their Spring Break this week, which has slowed down my project significantly.  It can wait, but I'm looking forward to finishing to show you the reveal.

    Love seeing what you are up to! I am wondering if I will EVER get to reveal my bathroom redo! We are STILL working on it. I am trying to distress some cupboards and wood as I have seen around different blogs. It IS an adventure! Love what YOU have going on and hope the kids enjoyed their extra time at home!

    Love the new wall color. It makes me REALLY want to get rid of my red dining room too. I have been talking about doing it for awhile but haven't gotten around to it yet. Can't wait to see the completed room!
