Next, I repainted the area in the same light khaki color that was in the living room. This helped the spaces flow more and feel more cohesive. I also tried a more neutral light fixture. Lowe's gave me this one in exchange for the little chandelier. Once again, it just didn't fit.
Finally, I found the perfect light fixture online.
In addition, I recovered the dining room chairs in new fabric and added some IKEA floating shelves along the wall.

My next project will be refinishing and staining my dining room table and chairs. The table is an antique and has really taken a beating through the years. I'm looking forward to staining it a rich, expresso color. :)

Wow! You are much, much braver than Tevo and me! We thought about buying a fixer upper, but then decided on a newly remodeled house instead. But the changes you have made are just plain awesome. When can we visit?! And when can you come to Dallas and pick paint colors for us? All of our walls are the exact same color. We keep intending to paint, but...yeah. Hasn't happened yet.
Thanks Deals! You and Trevor are always welcome of course. I've already made some updates on the guest bedroom too! :) I really need to make a visit to see you guys too...can't believe I still haven't seen your new house!
Beautiful! You have a good eye for decorating! I love the new light fixture!
