Are the bottom 2 pictures the after? The light looks much better.

ok, so the bottom 2 are the before. To be honest, besides the valance, the before was much much better. It looks to plain now. You can't always listen to people on here. Most of them are just trend followers that can't think for themselves. I can tell you a lot of these updates on here don't look as good as they do in the picture. I would have left this room alone. should have just changed the valance and maybe the rug for a new look. Changing the bulbs would have been better also, so it don't look yellowish.

what the difference??

I like the update! Love the floating shelves and the light fixture!

I like the update too. Love the floating shelves and the new fixture. I think you should have painted the walls a lighter color to brighten it up even more and contrast the shelves.

I do like both, the before and the after. Enjoy your new dining room! It's very inviting!

The updated room looks very nice. Much more modern and contemporary.

Changing out the light and removing the valence were *major* improvements!

Love the new modern chandelier , looks great! Don't listen to trolls, your handiwork payed off, cleaner and streamlined. Must feel really nice?

The drapes make a huge difference!

Really loving this.

I love the red! Makes it pop and more elegant. Great changes.
