Who says you can’t re-do your kitchen days before your family comes for Christmas? Not me. This is how it looked before. I used that gorgeous Taupe/Robin fabric to make these fake roman shades. Then I moved the dining room set into the kitchen. I’m turning the dining room into an office/library…because in a year and a half of living there, we.have.never. eaten in there. This set is a little more traditional, but I love the way it looks. The paint color you ask? Don’t. I have no idea. I mixed light khaki with some dark gray and added some chocolate color and came out with this.
I had left over board and batten from my Master bedroom re-do and slapped it up. The wall you see is the largest wall in the whole entire kitchen…so it didn’t take much. I somehow think I’m going to slipcover 2 club chairs before Thursday, but I think I’d rather make cookies with my girlies. Maybe the slipcover fairy will come? What did you re-do last minute?
It looks great! I love the faux roman shades 馃檪
I love it, you are so brave and creative with your paint colors! Also I love the window treatments, are those new, too? Super cute!
I SO want some of that fabric!! Your shades turned out gorgeous!
Love the Board and Batten! Looks great!
Love everything about this – I love how black always adds a touch of drama and modern flair; and I'm a sucker for a zebra stripe!
I just bought that fabric to make some pillows! I love how it looks! It's gorgeous!
Oh I love it! It all looks great. Love your shades. I do the same thing with paint. I joke all of the time that I have a paint store upstairs, and I just mix until I come up with something that I like. If I like the results a lot, I take it to my local Sherwin Williams and have them match and make more of what I have mixed together lol. Love that zebra print too.
The room looks amazing. We did the same thing about a year ago – gave up the biggest room which is the dining room and I took it as the studio space. It is now used every day instead of maybe 10 days a year. Of course we just moved the dining room to the front sitting room which never got used either- so it sits. Trying to work out a way to make an eat in area at the far end of the kitchen so we can get rid of the “dining room” all together. Just not a dining room kind of family.

That looks soooo good! I love everything!
can i have your “old” dining room now that you don't need it? i LOVE the casual beachy feel it had. 馃檪
the “new” dining room looks beautiful and so perfect for the holidays.
amazing work on both!
I LOVE your dining set. It's exactly the color I've love mine to be someday (it's currently honey colored)…but I doubt that someday will be before Christmas. 馃檨 Until then it's all mismatched wood but man is that a pretty little table you got there!
love it! Great colors in that kitchen.
Love the look, and I have been eyeing that taupe robin fabric at fabric.com for months! This past weekend I decided to reuoholster some wing back chairs just in time for the holidays! Isn't that how everyone spends the last weekend before Christmas? I posted them in my blog today. Check them out!
totally amazing ~ love it!
those faux roman shades look great and so does the board and batten.
you must work well under pressure, cause i would of cracked and not finished one project. : )
You are such a whiz at just whipping things up! The room looks absolutely wonderful!
cheryl, apparently i do work well under pressure…i love having a deadline…i.guess.
Gorgeousness!!! I just love it all. I also love how you said you “slapped up” the board and batten! It would take me weeks to get up the nerve then weeks to get it all done. 馃檪
Love the roman shades too.
OMG, I love your blog! You have such wonderful ideas. You make me want to slipcover everything and have a craft/wine party too:) I am now following as well. Your breakfast area is lovely. Happy Holidays!

I love your fabric choice and your blog is amazing!
I quite liked your old kitchen…loved the burlap swags (but then I love everything burlap)….the redo is very nice a perhaps even looks a bit cozier. Wish I could transform one of my rooms into a dedicated crafts room. My DREAM!!!
Your bedroom is amazing…what a difference! Can't wait to have a house with board and batten like this!

I really love those shades! Can you tell me how you made those ? Also did you line it?
Thank you for all the inspiration.
