Brown and Tan….

The theme of my house is brown and tan. All the walls are tan and everything else seems to be brown! It is driving me crazyyyyy! We have lived in our house almost a year and a half and I am ready to change things up. Every room in my house is a work in progress. We almost finish something and then move on to the next thing…which is also driving me nuts! I am so busy and not home enough during the school year that I think it didn’t really bother me but now that I am home for the summer and have my little man I am here a lot more and need change. So my first project is going to be the dinning room. Like I said BOWN AND TAN!

These are iphone pics.

Starting point (one of the chairs is in the other room because I used it to cut Brian’s hair):

I do love my curtains I will use them somewhere else:

My ideas for the room stem from our Fiesta dishes we received as wedding gifts…I know it’s not expensive china or anything but I do love it! We choose ivory and plum just because I liked the colors and they don’t match anything we have. So we will soon have a room they will match in ;)

Our dinning room furniture consists of a small table and hutch that was Brian’s grandmother’s before she passed away. I love that we have it now…brings more meaning to the room. My idea is to paint the furniture white or ivory and the walls plum and go from there…my husband will flip when I tell him this I just came up with the idea right now!

Pictures that inspire my ideas…

I thought this was a good picture mixing the two colors and little too bright purple. I could see a vase like that on the table though.

I like the contrast between the white furniture and plum walls.

Hopefully, I can start this project soon, but who knows! :)
