Since it's the first room you see, I want it to look more like a dining room. However, I live in a smaller older home and the knuckleheads didn't provide enough room. My room is 10 x 10.5. Can you give me the dimensions of your room and do you think I can pull off a room like yours with my space constraints?Bloom Garden Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063154448024254374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592342156309750688.post-84337387932914259942013-11-11T12:53:16.691-08:002013-11-11T12:53:16.691-08:00Hi Anonymous,

Grey paint is very sensitive to it's surroundings, the undertone can appear stronger in some spaces than in others. Here is a link to a post I wrote about grey, the chameleon of paint colors: http://www.theyellowcapecod.com/2012/02/how-to-choose-perfect-gray-paint-color.html<br />I hope that helps.

My wall looks more like a deep green i did 4 coats, or is it your camera that makes it appear grey? Is there something you did first like a tinted primer or something? i really wish i knew why it came out that way. can you tell me what your process was and how many coats you did?:) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592342156309750688.post-74890356144740060012013-08-07T07:26:03.223-07:002013-08-07T07:26:03.223-07:00Gorgeous room, but the poor pupster didn't eve...Gorgeous room, but the poor pupster didn't even get honorable mention....<br />Thank you so much for giving us the beautiful photos AND all of the information that we might need to ......ummmmm.......copy your lovely ideas.<br />Blessings to you,<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592342156309750688.post-12482239045520515512013-08-07T07:25:51.154-07:002013-08-07T07:25:51.154-07:00Gorgeous room, but the poor pupster didn't eve...Gorgeous room, but the poor pupster didn't even get honorable mention....<br />Thank you so much for giving us the beautiful photos AND all of the information that we might need to ......ummmmm.......copy your lovely ideas.<br />Blessings to you,<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592342156309750688.post-6463085786281550362013-04-07T17:30:06.802-07:002013-04-07T17:30:06.802-07:00Love your dining room!

I want to paint it all black similar to how you redid your buffet/dresser. However, my chairs are old and need replacing. I looked around vcf.com and I found solid black chairs but nothing with the uplostery you have. Did you add cushions or do something different? I need help!

I do believe my chair will need replacing though. I found your chairs on vcd.com but they did not have the upholstery…did you do that yourself?

But the pictures in "My Home Office Dining Room" the walls look a lot more gray. I know it could just be the light coming through the windows or using a flash but I am interested to know if it is the same color.
