We had so much fun with our dining room shoot, that we’ve decided to do it again but in a totally different color scheme. We switched out all the pinks and greens for yellows, and aquas. When you have a neutral base (white table and chairs, a subtle wall color and neutral drapes) this is so easy for anyone to do. My favorite decorating advice it just that- keep the main pieces neutral then add accent colors with pillows, artwork, flowers, etc.. Not only is this easy an easy way to decorate, but also affordable!
{So what did we do differently?}
1. We used hydrangeas instead of peonies in the milk bottles because they were in season.
2. We simplified our napkin ring even more by just adding a simple daylily to it.
3. We used a different arrangement of vintage table clothes.
4. We took a simple white plate then dolled it up with an aqua saucer (found at Goodwill for $.99 each)
5. We changed up the centerpiece with flowers, etc. (We took the coffee out of the vintage canister, and added hydrangeas instead!)
And that’s our Brunch Affair Color Switch!!! Take a look at the differences below!!!
Dessert and flowers….. two of our favorite things! Add some coffee and we are on cloud nine. This dining room looked much different 12 years ago. It was dark and dreary to say the least, but with a coat of paint and a new light fixture it began to have a whole new personality. I decided to use a mix of old and new when choosing the right dining room set. I purchase the crisp white pedestal table from IKEA, then paired it with some old chippy chairs I found at tag sales. I chose 2 slightly more formal chairs to go with 4 fun side chairs. All 6 chairs cost me less than $100. The rest of the decor has about the same theme, crisp white ceramic pieces beside a chippy and rusty tin….matches made in heaven:). Hope you enjoy!!!
