As you know, I’ve decided to build new benches for the dining room. I’ve had this bench and artwork arrangement on the walls flanking the pantry doorway (which no longer has French doors on it) ever since the first iteration of this room. And then when I did the colorful makeover of the room and...

The post Three Bench Options For My Dining Room (Plus, Do My Chandelier Flowers Need Color?) appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

Last Friday, I told y’all that I had lots of options as far as what I could work on over the weekend and I wasn’t sure which direction I would decide to go. Well, the decision was kind of made for me. What I really wanted to work on was the storage room. I wanted...

The work on the storage room by my contractor’s workers is done, y’all! They got the old concrete board and subfloor up and installed the new subfloor. And yesterday, they finished up the drywall. So this project is now officially back in my hands to finish up. It always shocks me a little bit to...

Yesterday, I showed y’all a mockup of my dining room that I did using ChatGPT. I’ve done a few mockups of various areas of our house (mostly exterior ideas) over the last few months, but I think this was the first time I did an interior room and got ChatGPT to implement my ideas accurately....

I have a few random updates for you today because I now have progress to share on both the dining room and the storage room. I’ll start with the dining room. As I often do, I allowed myself to do what I really wanted to do yesterday rather than what I should have been doing....

I finally feel like I have a vision for the dining room, and I have all of the details worked out. So after a week of feeling stifled and uninspired, I finally felt anxious to get started yesterday. I didn’t get a whole lot done because, as I took the shelves and TV off of...

The post Dining Room Progress And New, Updated Drapery Fabric appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

Last week was such a slow week. I didn’t make any real progress on anything because I’m still waiting — waiting for my contractor to do his part on the storage room, waiting for fabric and air-dry clay to arrive so that I can get draperies sewn and my chandelier made. But I was also...

Since I’m in a holding pattern with my storage room (waiting for my contractor to do the new subfloor and drywall) and with the dining room right now (waiting for drapery fabric to be delivered, waiting for air-dry clay to be delivered, waiting for inspiration to hit for the gallery wall and new benches, etc.),...

I feel like my dining room plan is coming together, but I’m still unsure about what to do with the main wall in the room. I love the wall as it is now with the gallery shelves, the framed TV, and the dark eggplant buffet. Here’s a reminder of what the wall looks like right...

I’ve been posting a lot of photos on my Facebook page lately of our house over the years — what it looked like when we bought it thirteen years ago and what it looks like now. On one post, I showed the progression of our hallway over the years, from this original hallway on the...
