Ideas for Pumping Up a Traditional Dining Room?
Good Questions

11-6-dining-room-MA.jpgQ: We just bought a dining room table and chairs and we'd love some ideas on how to take the traditional dining room set and the room's mouldings and make it more funky and unique. Paint color, window treatments, rug, lighting, and art are all needed in the space. We are willing to spend some money to make our home a more interesting place. We just need some help figuring out how to do it without much free time — my husband and I have a 3 year old daughter and identical twin infants!

Bella's DIY & Vintage on a Budget
House Call

Name: Bella
Location: Prospect Hill neighborhood of Somerville, Massachusetts

I fell in love with this apartment as soon as I saw it a little over three years ago. It's located high on a hill that is steeped in history. The first Union flag was flown here on January 1, 1776 by order of General George Washington. In 1902 a castle-like monument was erected to commemorate the site. The views of the city are fantastic and it's a great place to watch the annual Fourth of July fireworks.
