And lo and behold, that's what you decided to do.<br /><br />Thanks for linking your beautiful transformation to my party.

You did a great job! I really like your dining room but I know what you mean about wanting to spruce things up. You might want to consider adding some magnetic bling to your light fixture - I just did that on mine and posted about it on my blog (http://southerninspirationsblog@blogspot.com). It is really a lot of impact for only a few dollars to do.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your ideas - I need all the inspiration I can get for my house!!<br /><br />JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114909230450443457.post-90759917739419061282010-09-09T15:57:02.545-05:002010-09-09T15:57:02.545-05:00The change adding paper to you cabinet made was am...The change adding paper to you cabinet made was amazing...I often wish I could just paint everything and it would look nice,then I remember the hours I spent stripping the paint of my kitchen cupboards so I could expose the beautiful wood underneath...to paint or not...?<br />I really enjoy the way you added flowers to your fall table cloth and in an older post to the throw pillow.

Your blog inspires me daily to try new decorating projects that I would have been terrified of before. I recently purchased a 'new' hutch from Craigslist (for a bargain of $65 :oD ) and I might put a wallpaper backing in it now.

Your post really made me chuckle because many years ago my husband went through a GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT to purchase a curio cabinet for me. I expressed a desire to own one (but I meant a beautiful antique one) and he went out and purchased me one from a local furniture store. Not even as nice as yours. I have lived with it for years, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He even had it stored at a neighbours until it was time for my birthday. And to this day, it still graces my diningroom - although it has been painted white (still not so good)!
