#499 AGAIN and a dining room spruce up

Ok...  so I messed up.

Now we are on post #499, and I did promise a little give away on the 500th post.

I will tell you all about the give away tomorrow.  : )

So..  I've gotta tell you,  I have been in what I call a "house funk."   I hate everything!
 I think it has to do with this long winter.
  I thrive on color, sunshine and of course... polka dots. 

The dining room has been bothering me the most.
I tried to mix things up a bit and get it ready for Easter.
I made the table smaller, added the lace table cloth, spring bunny plates and a huge ugly bouquet of flowers.

Ewww   Ewwww  Ewwww.

I swear,  I think I've lost my mojo.

After staring into the dining room all night last night

I had a idea and I knew exactly what I needed to do.

I decided that I was going to strip the room bare and start from scratch.

~  which is what i did this morning.

 I was going to rearrange some furniture and do some touch up painting on the walls

.... and  I was going to paint the dining room chairs red to match the (already red) chandy.

I was at the Home Depot picking out red paint before the sun came up.

It took me about an hour to paint the chairs..

and while they were outside drying I moved and painted the inside of the little china cabinet.

I was very excited and a little bit scared to put the chairs around the table.

I also stole the "neighborhood" picture and white cabinet from the living room

( which is the next room to get spruced up) and I love them so much better against this wall.

Pearl's giant bird condominium is tucked in the corner where he can see everything.

I love the red!!

What do you think?
