The fingerprints remained..
I’m tempted, I tell you.Very tempted.. Go a little bit traditional.
Even if your style leans towards more modern decor, putting in one or two really traditional “dining room”-y elements in your space will make it feel more like a. real.dining room and less like just a random purpose-less room.This can be a tradionalish buffet or china cabinet, maybe some nice paneling on the walls like you see in a lot of dining rooms, or you can do something like we did with our plate rack.
One of the things I’d really like to have in this room one day is some nice built in cabinetry to hold dishes, but since we can’t do that right now, a plate rack gives that “built-in storage” feel.It was cheap and quick too!.
Define the space with an area rug.
If your dining room is really just a corner of a living room or a kitchen, adding in an area rug that you love can really help to define the space and give it its own identity.In fact, a lot of people love my kitchen and even loved it before I started fiddling around with it this year.
I actually love my kitchen too, well, except for the cabinets, and the counters, and the flooring, and the wall color, and 2/3 of the appliances.OK, that’s pretty much all of it.
So in the grand scheme of the world, it’s not necessarily considered an ugly kitchen.But it’s just not to my taste yet.
