I'm not entirely sure what is worse . . . scraping off horrid layers of floral wallpaper, or dealing with nasty faux paint that requires serious sanding. Regardless, it's a big ole mess.The single redeeming quality of the room is my chandelier, which although I believe to be hung too high, is vintage 1950s and from Italy. Of course, it was spotted by Erin, who also was able to get me a discount from the dealer. I can't lie and say that my dear husband wasn't pissed when he heard how much the chandlier cost, BUT after he found out that it was Italian, all malice was put aside. He is head over in heels love with it, which works out great for me!
The dining room I am thoroughly obsessed with is this one, as done by Domino and featured on Ballard Designs. I am going for a mix of feminime and masculine, plus it has to do dual duty of family and formal dinners, evenings at the computer, bill paying, ect.
Since I would prefer not to spend, no wait, invest, $500 per chair, I am hoping I can score some on ebay or craigslist, especially since they would without a doubt get wacked by the Radio Flyer and other annoying sound making toys. We shall see . . .
