I want to first start by thanking Houzz.com for their amazing pro's, inspirational pic's and loyal online followers, You all contributed to helping me find my gem of a house out of, (dare I say), 1960's style rubbish. Here are some photos of what we have been able to accomplish so far....

Then, on to my question of how to decorate our dining room on a limited budget? We are looking to add a nice light fixture over the table, not sure what to do with the windows and the walls, add a rug, and need another piece of furniture to store serving pieces and maybe put a bar. But as I said our budget is $1500 and if you asked my husband he'd say $500!

Thank you again Houzz friends!!!
