 New Hampshire Home Stager, Transforming My New Home - Dining Room

In a recent post, The New Hampshire Home Stager Bait & Switch, I promised to share photos from the transformation of my new home.

First decision was paint colors.  I prefer keeping it simple, limiting the home to only a couple of colors.

I knew I wanted to use one of my favorite colors, Ben Moore Stampede 979, in several rooms.  I chose Ben Moore Thunder AF-685 as a complimentary color for most of the remaining rooms.

 

Our first project was adding some warmth and sophistication to the Dining Room.

I wanted to give the room a more formal look by creating the appearance of wainscoting.

First we painted the top portion with Stampede and the lower portion with primer.

We attached 1 1/2 x 1/4 pine lattice wood strips, spaced about two feet apart.  We primed the wood pieces and then painted the entire lower portion with trim color.  

 

Adding a new light fixture and ceiling medallion completed our transformation.

It's funny...I didn't like the wall sconces and planned to replace them, but somehow painting the wall gave them a new look and I like them now.

Next up... Living Room

Thanks for reblogging Sharon's post.  The transformation is gorgeous.  I love the color of the upper wall.  Hope you Memorial Day weekend is good.  Take care.

Evelyn~ It's easy to change the look of a room with some paint and a new light fixture.  Plus, it's inexpensive!

Sharon~ Love the room transformation.
