House Before and Afters: Dining Room Edition

This one is going to be pretty lame because we kinda tried to copy how the previous owners decorated the dining room, so there is not much change.  I also didn't get a very good before picture, this is from when we first looked at the house.
Before

After


Two of the walls are painted the same color as the living room and then there is an accent wall that is painted what the sellers called "eggplant".  Not sure if I would have ever chosen it, but its not bad...so its staying for now.  I really want to find some curtains for the window, that is my next project.  I want something similar to this:


Who knows, maybe I will even learn to sew my own! Another project I want to work on is the wall across from the mirror.  If you look in the mirror of the first picture you can see that they had a grouping of wall crosses.  Well, they left all the nails still in the wall so when I unpacked the box with all of our crosses I just went and hung them on all the existing nails.  However, the spacing is not right for the sizes of our crosses.  I really want to start collecting old pieces of china and hang them in a grouping there.  Here are a few of picture of what I am thinking of...kinda:

  1. Lauren love the china collection idea. If you ever need a buddy to go antique/thrift shopping you know who to call.
