Hello everyone!
Well, I figured out what was wrong with my changes to the breakfast area of my kitchen. Something kept bugging me and at first I thought it was the new draperies (can I call drop cloth that???). The problem was with the chairs! They contrasted nicely against the black french doors, but when I painted them grey, they sort of faded away. So, what did I do about it? I painted them!
Now it has a better contrast against the grey doors. I like the fact that the chairs no longer match the table too.
I sanded down some of the edges around the chairs to give them a worn look. I still may change the fabric in the chairs. I haven't decided yet. So for now, these will do.
I removed the burlap pillows I had in here and brought in some with ticking stripes.
So, now........... I believe I'm finally done in here. Well, at least until my new sign arrives. (Do those words sound familiar? I think I'm having one of those deja vu moments.)
Next week, weather permitting, we will start planting our vegetable garden. So, get ready for some digging in the dirt photos.
Thanks for stopping by!

I had not seen that you painted the french doors grey! They look great! I have enjoyed having mine grey. Love the ticking pillows too:-)
Love the chairs painted. I see you added a lamp back on the counter, too.
Simple changes, but they make a great impact, Kelly. I like the ticking.
When you showed your breakfast room before I thought to myself "those chairs would look great painted white" and they do! I guess great minds think alike! ;) I really like the contrast of the pine farmhouse table with the white chairs-beautiful!
I like the contrast between the chairs and the table. It truly makes a difference
Thank you Kelly for taking the time to grace your beauty over at my place, love the cottage rustic feel of you style, the ticking pillow, whiteness and soulfulness of the mix of old :)
I am off to read your older posting looking for more beauty in all you create.
A weekend filled with inspiration.

Wow! The new color on the chairs looks great! I love your style of decorating! I'm excited to hear about your vegetable garden. So far, I've only been brave enough to plant one tomato plant (in a pot) and a lemon tree (also in a pot) :) I'm hoping to have lots of lemons this summer...mostly to decorate with! LOL!
Kelly, your chairs look great! The contrast is really pretty! Funny how something so simple can make such a difference. Love it!
