Get the Look: Dining Room

Lately I've had my mind on a new design for our dining room.  We have dark grey walls and dark furniture and it just doesn't suit the light and bright look that I've been moving towards in my home... but with a baby on the way in less than a month that's going to be on the back burner for a bit.  In the meantime I'll just keep pinning away!  

This dining room from Linda McDougland Design caught my eye on Pinterest.  I love how simple the design is.  It definitely fits that comfortable, easy style I want for my home. Here are a few pieces I found so you can recreate the look yourself!

Hutch Hunt

Remember when I posted my New Year's home resolutions?  If you don't you can read it here.   Well, I haven't done any of them... but I am making moves on one of them- the dining room hutch!  I've pinned some painted hutches that jumped out at me and I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for now.

Really like the look of the doors removed and the accent of light blue around the edge!

Obviously I was drawn to this one because of the grey and white chevron but I love the detailed panels on the bottom cabinets and drawers!

Really digging the color of this one...

This one is so pretty- love the all white styling

So I think I am settled on looking for a hutch that has closed storage at the bottom with the option to remove the doors at the top.   As far as color goes I'm thinking a pale grey/blue might be nice.

Have you ever painted furniture?  Any tips?
