Dining Room Update

Here's my first post house-moving post. And a first glimpse inside La Casa de Sto.Domingo. 

We moved farther north from Yishun to Woodlands last Halloween (obviously, we are not superstitious people) and since then, interior decorating became part of our hobbies as a couple and as a family. We believe that home decorating is a work in progress and an activity that is always evolving. We are open to changes and looking for ways to progressively improve our abode and ultimately, better the way we live.

Our dining room is used thrice or more daily, and having a young schoolgirl and another baby soon, it must be easy to maintain.

We haven't change much in the dining hall. Basically, we keep the floors bare for easy clean-ups. Baby food or red wine would be a disaster if we placed an area rug. The previous owner left the dining set and we just polished the wooden table and washed the chairs' slipcovers. We bought natural-looking woven placemats to match the chairs which are actually plastic, again for cleaning convenience.

For the walls, we initially wanted to remove those square accents but after the painting, we decided to keep it there. The walls carry Nippon's Latte and Gray Mood matte shades.

The framed picture in the living room, which was previously hung horizontally is now upright and gracing the dining room wall.

The ceiling which has a varnished cornice before was given a facelift and painted all white. And the pendant bowl chandelier was cleaned and polished.

We're planning to have a full-length mirrored wall installed here just to open up the small space. The cast iron balustrade will remain (for now). After all, it's has been one of the prominent features of the house that makes us fall for the house.

Now, here's the La Comedor's "after" photos. I'll show you what we did with the living room next time. See yah!
