Dining Room Redo

I've been wanting to give my dining room a bit of a face-lift. Not a total makeover—I like the main elements. But it's been basically the same for a few years, and I'm ready to shake things up a bit.


The color scheme right now is red and yellow. I like that for a dining room, but it kind of limits what colors I can use for table settings. I'm thinking new curtains with red, yellow and blue (and possibly other colors) would expand my options.

I'm mad for these curtains (but they're a little spendy for me):

I think Pottery Barn has something similar. I might have to DIY something, though, because we hung the rods a bit high. Or I could add some sort of fringe to the bottom of ready-made panels.

I also have big plans for the back wall, but more on that later!
