DIY...Dining Area

Don't mind me...I'm just busy working away on what will soon be our new dining area space.  Here is a before picture of what it looked like before I put my hands on it two days ago.  I still have quite a bit to do but it is coming along! 


If you remember this to do list had all of the things that I wanted to take care of in the area:

Dining Area:
This seems like it has become a dumping ground of sorts for us and is in need of a complete over haul!  Right now it houses accessories from our old house as well as our old dining set and buffet.

To Do List:
  • Purchase new dining table
  • Purchase 2 new head chairs for the dining table
  • Purchase 2-3 side chairs for the dining table
  • Repaint the dining bench
  • Create a pad for the dining bench in a fabric that will coordinate with the new chairs but also the living room.
  • Create curtain panels for the window just above the dining bench
  • Purchase metal wine racks that we will mount on the sides of the dining bench and can be used to display some bottles of wine
  • Create or purchase a buffet table
  • Accessorize the buffet table
So far my list looks like this as of this morning...

To Do List:
  • Purchase new dining table
