A little drama in the dining room

I always say when you have been thinking about doing something for a while, you might as well go ahead and do it. Especially if it's something reversible and low cost.

Pin It

I've wanted to add a little drama to this wall for a while, so I actually was playing with one of those online apps where you paint your room, and next thing I knew, I was buying paint. 


I knew I wanted a dark gray, and it needed to coordinate with the "Grand Smoky Mountain" gray I have on my trim and cabinetry. 


I found this "Dark Umber" color in the Kilz Collection at Walmart and had it mixed in the Colorplace paint, which I use a lot, and it fit all the criteria for my room, so up it went. 


It's a warm dark gray, but not too dark.


I. Am. Loving. It. 




I had the overdyed rug layered with a Baluch rug, but decided to take them up for summer.


And that was a great decision as well. I love my rugs, but something about the bare floor really opened up this small space. Plus it's SO much easier if we are eating here.

I had this curtain from years ago, and because I am waiting on a vintage sari from India to hang there, tried this out and loved it as well.  It's dark, moody, a little glam and just provides enough contrast. 




I am absolutely in love with the little bit of drama I have here now, and all it cost was a gallon of Walmart paint. Really, how can you go wrong with that? 

And there's a lot more drama going on around here as well, so be sure to follow along on instagram and facebook.
