Dining Room Update 2021

The dining room was last updated here in 2010.  The Drexel Francesca furniture fit well in the room...it was just too much brown!  It is time for a new update so to start, we are painting the cabinets with a high gloss enamel. The credenza is special to me since my Mom gave it to me when she moved to a smaller condo. Here are some before pics & during the process:

2 coats of SW Oil Based Enamel:

We sprayed 3 coats of oil based enamel primer & 2 coats of  SW Snowbound 7004 in an oil based gloss enamel:

I decided to put some new gold pulls on the credenza. Here are my choices:

I also ordered a new linear chandelier in a silver finish since I want to mix up the metals in this room:

I'll probably be changing the Kendall Charcoal paint and thinking about brightening it up and using this SW Take Five color:

Thinking about painting the dining chairs black and updating the fabric. Here's a before pic:

Found the fabric!  It's from Ballard Designs and is sunbrella ikat:

My husband made this black metal table for me years ago. I had an old 16x16 tile in it from our kitchen floor and now updated with the new marble:

New light fixture is up:

Decided to swap out the lamps for gold/silver ones I had in a bedroom.  Also swapped out the end chairs for 2 FB marketplace finds:

End chairs painted and same ikat fabric will be added to the seats:

Decided to go this route with the drapes and add the trim:
