In God's Time...Not My Own: Dinning room

I am a little behind in posting these. We have been in our house about 7 years now and many of the rooms need fresh paint.

This summer my goal was to get the playroom, dinning room, and hall/stairs painted. I did the playroom first ( Playroom pictures), the dinning room in July, and I am working on the hall currently. We also impromptu just remodeled the kids bathroom pictures to come later this week.

Yellow - Before

I forgot to take a picture of the room before so I pulled out these old pictures from Carrots B-day party

Old picture of the brass light fixture

After picture of the light fixture after I painted a rubbed bronze

Here is my $20 dollar lamp. I found an old brass one at the Goodwill for $5 I painted it and bought a new shade total $20

Now this is really weird. I sold my old black primitive style shelf from the before picture on craig's list for $40. The next day I went onto craig's list to look for a mirror to replace it. I knew I wanted one in silver and bingo found this Pottery Barn mirror for.....$40 (weird huh)

I made some "no sew" curtains. Joann's had their decorators material on 50% off so I snagged the material and the backing for under $30

The below are the "after pictures" almost a mossy brown/gray color

My Korean Geese (present from JonJon)

In Korea a traditional gift when you marry is a pair of wooden love geese.

The geese symbolize several virtues that the couple should follow in their married life:

Wild geese keep the same partner for life. Even of one dies, the other will not seek a new partner for the rest of his or her life

Wild geese understand hierarchy and order. Even when flying, they maintain structure and harmony.

Wild geese have the nature to leave their existence wherever they go. People should leave a great legacy for their descendants when they leave this world. (note: my geese should be in a red silk nest but that does not match - I hope that does not break the blessing LOL)
