Licorce Painted Walls & Shiplap Paper,,The Dining Room Redo

 Welcome, nice of you to drop in! I am so excited to share my newly painted and papered dining room. Whoever said dark walls make a room look small? So not true, after scanning pinterest I just had to go with the dark walls. The Licorice colored walls are just darn right se#y! Just something about it. 

To start the walls were a light willow green , ok but no statement or class. The room isn't exactly super large so it just needed that bit a class. So these are the two items that I used...

Both that I ordered online at Wal-Mart.  Both under 30$  I have to say that this Wal-Mart paint is pretty good, I'm impressed, the price is also reasonable. The peel n stick shiplap paper is a winner as well. Stuck to wall really well. So grab a cool drink and comfy seat and let's take a look...

This is the before. Just plain Willow green walls

Come on in right through the shutter doors, the dining room is right of the kitchen which is really convenient. 

So I chose to paper the bottom and paint the top, a great weekend project!

I couldn't resist decorating with patriotic decor

The large shelf under the wreath I decided to paint to match the wall so it would bo one with the wall. Had to add some string lights

The dining room is also open to the living room as well.

The faux wooden stars I used on the table setting is listed in my blog list, a simple craft.

Now I can't wait to eat a meal in here! The table does ha a leaf so when the gangs all here I just add a bench, the leaf and 2 more chairs. 

I would say if your scared to do dark walls give it a try you won't be sorry it's like a big hug when you enter the room.

                                 Happy Decorating!
