Dining Room & My shutter!

Our dining room is open to the rest of the house, and while at first we didnt see a need for a formal dining room we now love it. Of course, its far from formal! We redid the dining set and I am so in love with it. The shutter was given to me by our neighbor- he is actually pretty grumpy and recently moved but this shutter will always remind me of him. Awesome but not awesome. The initials I have been wanting to do for so long. The W is from our wedding, still holding strong after 6 years and several paint jobs. And it looks like we can squeeze one more initial there next to the E? Just one more is all we want! Hopefully soon!

Here is the before:

This is from right after moving in 3 years ago.

We stripped the chairs and table and did a grey whitewash on the wood. 

We love how it turned out- light, bright and FUN! We love it!
