Before & After: Dining Room Blah to Beautiful
9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago
Our client's dining room was brown everything and 100% unremarkable. We changed that by replacing the dining table with a cool zinc-topped version, exchanging the dining chairs for gorgeous fully upholstered parsons chairs, painting the walls and cabinets, and restyling the too-crammed shelving. An inexpensive bonus was using a leftover piece of soapstone from a project elsewhere in the house to swap out the ghastly brown/black granite. Now the client has a sophisticated, polished space to host dinner parties and book club!
