After moving into the new house, Mr. CnW and I both felt it needed “something”. So, last week, we emptied it out and Mr. CnW painted it.
I love the way it looks now. It feels like it’s always been black and belongs in the room.
I took these pictures without a flash for a couple of reasons. #1. To show you how dark the room is. #2. To compare it with what it’s going to look like after we have 2 Solatubes put in this week.
The dining room is in the center of the house and is “landlocked”, meaning, it has no windows. The darkness has been driving me crazy because I like lots of light coming in. So….I’ll be sure and take pictures of the “after” later in the week so we can contrast and compare. (That sounds like we’re taking an essay test…LOL)

Loving it Anne and it looks perfect in the dining room. Mr CnW looks like he's on Lets Make A Deal and showing you what you won. Btw, life is perfect here on the island :)

I agree...it looks like it was always meant to be black!! I love black furniture...it's always "in" and can go from modern to country! so, how much does your hubby charge again lol!
ReplyDeleteMr. CnW did a fantastic job, Anne! What a difference a change of color makes! I'll be watching closely for the after photos - I may be putting a Solatube in my studio!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I was horrified when i read that you were going to paint it but it is beautiful. WHat a wonderful transition
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting pictures of your Folk Art Blooms Buggy Barn quilt -- it's wonderful -- I was inspired by your quilt and bought the pattern -- only 2 blocks done so far -- I hope you will post pictures of this beauty when the quilting magic has been done.
