i made a decision

so this weekend i was in a really weird 'mood'. my 'spaces' were just starting to get to me. everything just seemed 'out of place'. even though it probably was fine the way it was, i just couldn't take it.

i really need to thank you for all the help you gave me on saturday. i knew at least one of you would reach out with some thoughtful advice! who knew sooo many of you would. and some of you were so passionate about your opinion! i love it!

so you're probably wondering what i decided. well, i think everyone will be happy with the decision (which was actually thought of by my brother. amazing! [but don't tell him i said that ... my sister-in-law and i are pretending it was her idea])

while the room is still a work in progress, i'm really happy with how far it has come. so this is what the dining room looked like before. these pictures were taken probably in the fall/summer of 2008 (and i apologize for the quality and 'darkness' of these pictures. i don't know what i was thinking.)

yikes! right?

and after

i would love to know what you think! be sure to leave a comment below. as you can see i decided to keep six photos exactly as they were on the left ... scratched the shelf idea ... and added three photos on the right. i love it. and see those white chairs? my mom got them with a table she bought at an antique shop for her sewing room. she didn't need the chairs...but they work perfect here .. don't ya think!
