If you have ever seen my dining room you might remember it from a Halloween table. This was my Hogwart's Feast table in 2010.
This was last Halloween. The room was easy to decorate because there wasn't much in it, just a dresser, table, and chairs. We remodeled on 2008 and this used to be our living room, it became a dining room with no style or money left to redecorate.
This summer we were so generously gifted some dining room furniture. So instead of going on vacation we stayed home and remodeled. Hubs likes to have a project to do so, this past week, he helped me makeover the dining room!
This primitive pie safe became the anchor in the room to hold all the dishes on display.
I also have this arts and crafts style buffet. I decided to paint it with ASCP Duck Egg Blue. I have always wanted a buffet in this color. The color and distressing worked well on this piece.
While I was painting furniture and making curtains; Hubs refinished all drywall, ceiling and walls, and installed the floor. He has some mad drywall skills. He applied a "knock down" finish. We really like this finish and have used it in most of our home.
Here is the entry, which is part of the dining room.
I made the curtains out of pillow ticking. It makes great curtains. I will post about that later this week.
I have everything styled for summer, but I am already planning Fall and Christmas!

Your dining room is so pretty! FANTASTIC job! Your Hogwarts theme is too cute, I must say.
I think you should leave your pie safe open so everyone can enjoy your collection. I really, really like the hall tree with plates over it since the foyer flows into your dining room. That is a really nice touch!!!

Your "new" dining room is very pretty Sherry. I really like the entry area and the blue buffet. You and your husband did a great job with everything. Thanks for joining me at Your Cozy Home Party again.
I love how your dining room turned out! The table, the pie safe, and especially the sideboard are all great pieces. I love that duck egg blue! I also love the little decorative touches with the transferware plates, the candlesticks on the table, your curtains, and the light fixture over the table. It looks like such an inviting space.
