Just another brick in the wall

The unfortunate faux brick/vine/grape situation in my dining room and breakfast room had just about driven me over the edge.

The time had come to eradicate all the brick/vine/grapes. I fell in love with the green wall color at Daisy Cottage . Luckily the generous Kim of Daisy Cottage so kindly shares the colors in her house! I knew that green was exactly what I wanted.

The other item I had been drooling over for months were these Waverly curtains from Target.So there it was, the inspiration for my dining room make over ...wall color and curtains.

Hubs obviously was so tired of hearing me whine about it loves me so much that he let me hire professional to sand out the brick disaster and mud/texture the walls. Yippee!

I then painted the walls Daisy Cottage green, which I have to say I am in love with.

I took an old dresser from the Marine's room and painted it black.

Then I bought this little number on Craigslist...I love me some Craigslist. It is like a crack addiction.

The only thing missing was the curtains. Sure they were "affordable" at Target...but they were even MORE affordable when I found a pair on E-bay! The only thing was they were too short.

In honor of the Nester I of course performed some mistreatments of the window!
A little extra fabric and some dingleberry trim and I had curtains that were indeed long enough.
All is right with the world now, my dining room no longer has faux bricks.
