So, this is the view from the living room, when you first enter the house. I still haven't painted the ceiling, but I'm feeling a little lazy, so I'm not sure it'll happen any time soon.Here is a shot of all four necessary curtain panels, as promised:
The view from the kitchen:
This next shot here is of what I'll call my problem wall, mainly because that IKEA bookshelf is temporary, until we can afford what I really want.
And what would that be, you may ask yourself? An oversize vintage chalkboard? Why, yes. That would be quite lovely.
Perhaps an old church pew to go underneath it, with some fun pillows and throws for extra seating and lounging? Why, that would be great!
Or a vintage map, you say? With a cool old bench underneath it? Yes, yes, oh yes.
Truth be told, I could also totally go with a modern painting, provided it had the right colors, such as this one (oh, and I'd take those chairs, too):
For now, however, the dining room is done. Until I get a bug to paint it again, that is, or if I happen to win the lottery and I'm able to buy all of the above-mentioned wish list items. Sigh.(images: first 4, moi; 5. via cottage living; 6. via apartment therapy; 7. country decorating ideas via poppytalk; via down and out chic)
