Met Monday

Today we join Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphsis Monday. If you remember, my dining room started out looking like this before I vowed to live a more organized life. Even cleaned up the dining room still needed to be "beeutified".
So I changed the plates on the wall to blue spode and added a ginger jar with a plant in the corner.

Then I brought the toile bench from our bedroom in and placed it in the corner (Mr. B thinks I'm crazy).



I added a lamp and a platter onto of the china cabinet, which was brought in from another room. I still had boxed up a set of blue and white Mr. B bought me on a rainy camping weekend about 10 years ago.



Here's the final look. I'm still not sure if I like the bench in there, but decided to give it a few days to walk by and look at it.






The best thing about this room makeover is that it didn't cost a dime!
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a great week!

    Great transformation! I think the best rooms evolve. Sometimes I will make small rearrangements and then torment my husband by asking "Notice anything different?"
