A break from wedding stuff today. It's all about home decor. I finally got my new dining chairs so our dining room is practically complete, aside from the lack of wall art. To see the huge transformation, here are the BEFORE pics of the dining room from the previous owners – very traditional.

And the AFTER pics with all new paint, lighting fixture, drapery and furniture. It looks like a totally different room. I wanted a chic dining room with some drama. The drama comes from the bold, dark teal blue wall paint and the heavy, grey velvet drapes that hang from the ceiling to the floor. The chicness is brought out by the clean, graphic white & metal elements such as the hanging lamp fixture and the dining chairs.

I love my new retro dining chairs! I have been eyeing these forever. I just had to convince my hubbie that they would look great with the ebony-stained bamboo dining table. He's not all about the mix'n matching thing. And I can't stand the whole cookie cutter look where everything looks the same. Well it turns out, after I said trust me on this, he really likes the end product after all. I have to say it, the woman was right. ;)
