![]() Seriously, I just couldn’t justify spending a lot of money for this piece but I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. On the other side of our navy dining room you can see my new console table.Īfter visiting every furniture and consignment store in the entire state of New Jersey, I finally settled on this one from Pier One. In my opinion, they help keep the table looking a little more casual and cabana-like. The navy and white striped place mats are also from Pottery Barn (from a previous trip). Originally, I was going to leave the table unset but decided it needed to be dressed up for the big room reveal! Since they were on clearance, I thought it would be fun to add a little green to our navy dining room. That counts as being free, right? And speaking of Pottery Barn, I also snatched up these green patterned napkins just yesterday. ![]() ![]() I have been wanting one of these forever and when it went on sale at Pottery Barn, I ordered it using a gift card from my American Express points. Seriously, the bar cart could be my favorite thing in my new navy dining room! You might notice it does not show up in all the pictures because I had my son put it together just last night! Nothing like waiting until the last minute. In the back corner, I rehung my shelves and added some Lenox and Blue Willow china.Īs you can see, I also bought a new bar cart. Luckily, I had these panels sitting in the closet for a few years just waiting to be used. Unfortunately, the day I hung the white, I wasn’t happy. Originally, I thought I wanted plain white ones in here to go with my whole blue and white look. On the windows, I hung neutral curtain panels which work well with the seagrass. As you can see, the seagrass is also a great contrast to the navy blue walls. This seagrass rug is definitely not as soft as the previous rug but it gives the dining room the coastal/traditional look I was going for in here. As you can see, I also changed the oriental rug to a seagrass one. The pattern is subtle but picks up the navy from the walls. I know, how blogger of me…They are a cotton polyester blend and hopefully they will hold up for awhile. As a last resort, I ended up buying Ralph Lauren sheets at Homegoods and using them for the seats. After obsessing about fabric choices for weeks, I realized I was running out of time to order. Since we painted the walls navy blue, I wanted to keep the chair fabric on the lighter side. In my opinion Naval is the perfect navy blue! For the white wainscoting we used Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White which is my go-to trim color.Īs part of the makeover, I switched the fabrics on the chairs to this navy and white stripe. Luckily, just painting the wall color navy gave our cherry furniture a whole new look!įor my navy blue wall color, I chose Sherwin Williams Naval. Which was fine since I was up for a “challenge”…a One Room Challenge that is – lol! Thankfully, my husband wasn’t opposed to a navy dining room. Since my husband would never agree to changing the furniture, I had to work around what I had. If you want to see details of this Christmas table setting, you can read this post. After living with a red dining room for about 15 years, I was ready for a new look…and I was ready for a navy dining room! Let’s take a look back at the dining room before we painted it navy…Īpparently, I only photographed the room at Christmas time… Like I said, this time around I chose to update my dining room for the One Room Challenge. On Wednesdays, twenty designers share their progress and on Thursdays, the guest participants (anyone with a blog) can share. In case you are not familiar with the One Room Challenge, it is a biannual event created by Linda Weinstein of Calling it Home, where bloggers challenge themselves to transform a space over a 6 week period. Yes, It’s reveal day for the guest participants of the Spring One Room Challenge! I must say, there’s nothing like a deadline to get me moving… Navy Dining Room Reveal: ![]() Thankfully, I survived the 6 weeks and finished my navy blue dining room!
