We just bough a house at the end of January. I haven't had time to even think about decorating. Ugh. The farthest I've been able to get, so far, is decorating in my head - know what I mean? My time has been consumed between Odd Duck Soaps, the kiddos, and our yard and garden.
I decided it's time to start thinking about making a decorating plan. For me that can be kind of hard. I think my overall decorating style - and I'm no professional interior designer - would be best described as eclectic. I love everything from vintage, folk, modern, cottage chic, to minimalism and beyond. If I had to choose one decorating style, I would probably cry. There's so much beauty to be found in them all.
I haven't decided on a paint color and I also think I will have to change the curtains, but this is the direction I would like to go with our dining room. I see a vision of navy blue, shades of mint, yellows, cream, and a touch of metallic gold finishes.
A few key items that I need to get: vintage trays for a tray wall, fabulous pieces of display china, and a large, ornate gilded (real or faux) mirror. These are the big 3 items that are going to set the mood for our dining room. I really would love a hutch but due to the room layout I think a buffet or dresser will work best. Since I will be decorating on a tight budget I hope to score at some thrift stores and yard sales. I will have to see things with new eyes and hone my recycling skills.
