Dining Room Fluffing

This is how our dining room looked a few months ago. Since then I have started on revamping the curtain panels and adding other decorative touches.

Here is what it looks like today. Ignore the blue on the ceiling. It will soon be white again.

Littliest and I purchased these shutters back in December and it took me this long to figure out where to place them. They were already black so all I did was sand them down a little and added some stain.

Yep, I am thinking I really am liking them here but what I am not liking is how dark everything is in this room. I debated on whether to paint the shutters but did not know what color. Than I decided I like them black since the mirror was black. I am thinking of maybe adding some plates to the sides as well but am thinking that may make it all look too busy.

So that brings me to the buffet. I have been pondering re-staining it or maybe now since it is soo dark and heavy in the room I may just paint the bottom of it and leave the top stained. If I do paint what color would you choose?? Mind you our bench is blue but it may or may not get repainted as well. I am so close to having this room done if only I could figure out this dilemma. What would you do?


Ha! I just noticed something in both of the first pics. Can you guess what it is!;)

Linking up to the following parties:
