Flea Market Finds to the Rescue! Elevate the Home with Vintage Treasures | Major Dining Room Update 

Luv it all! Beautiful as is!!!!

Beautiful loved it

Lovely room as is! I’d lighten the pillows and curtains first. If it’s still too dark for your eye, I’d paint the inside. Your hutch looks like a hutch that my mom left me. I did paint it and I love it. It has a curved glass front. So pretty. TFS

Beautiful home!

All the points you have raised it legit and your concerns are real it resonates with me. Here is what I will suggest, the hutch is very pretty and works in your space but if the wood is making your space not as air then paint it. Our home and furniture should work for us not us work for it. So if you want it airy, paint the hutch either inside or out. It doesn’t take away from the old charm. It will be even more unique to your home and style. But remember just painting it won’t be enough, you will need to tie the colors together. I know you are reluctant to change the curtains, but consider changing them to work well with the color you pick for the hutch, that will brighten up the room. Just sit with it all and they go for what will bring you the most joy. I did something similar, bought a 1940’s Hollywood Regency credenza but it was all wood color and in perfect condition but I knew what I wanted was airy and off white and creams so I had it painted and I am so in-love with it cause it just works abd looks even better. One of a kind. No one else has my credenza in my color. It took me 2 weeks to pick color for the credenza and I will do it all over again. The whole idea is to bring in old and new to create warmth and show case your personality and style!

Yes, if you don't want to painted the whole piece, painting inside would lighten it up. Brighter pillows in chairs would also be nice.

Very pretty. Your dog is adorable too. Can you share where you got the dining room pictures please.

❤❤❤ what a beautiful luxurious and spacious space
