Farmhouse Dining Room

Here's what I have in mind...

I'm using this table, from IKEA, instead of the one in the image above (from Pier One,have I mentioned I LOVE Pier One lately?).  The IKEA table has extensions,

so I can seat more when needed, 

and keep it smaller and cozy when 

it's just us for cereal dinner.

I'm planning on white-washing the bottom of the table

(Ben Moore - Ivory Tusk), for more of a farmhouse feel & to make it look a little more custom, and less IKEA. 

I am going to experiment with this Brushed Nickel spray paint 

on the dining chairs...

I used it on a client's picture frames recently and fell in love with it. (go get yourself some)

I already have a black bench, 

which will workout perfectly with 3 small kids.

And if the above chair project doesn't work out, they'll be painted black too.

The cow hide rug looks great in the picture, but the more I think about it, the more it will drive me crazy keeping it clean.

(I'll send it upstairs to our bedroom I think)

So I am thinking about painting the entire dining room floor something like this...

The walls will have a combination of 

BM Ivory Tusk board and batten, and SW Rice Grain.

I have an old buffet that I will paint SW Sea Salt.

 It's a toss up for the end chairs.  I thinking either -

 

or

The light fixtures are easy and inexpensive - 

So, all in all this room comes in at a little under $1500.

Not including labor - AKA me.

Not bad for a dining room re-do, eh?
