Dining Room Progress

Not even going to lie… I totally chickened out on the paint color for my dining room. I really wanted to try the new Magnolia Homes paint line but was a little nervous since I haven’t read many reviews yet and I’m really picky about my paint brands (I typically only use Sherwin Williams or Clark+Kensington from Ace Hardware).

So over the weekend I headed out to my local Sherwin Williams to try and match the Sunday Stroll color from Magnolia Homes. The landed on the color Mega Griege from Sherwin Williams and picked a flat paint from their Cashmere line.

Since our dining room gets a lot of natural light I was ok with going a bit darker, plus we have the white chair rail and picture frame moldings to balance out the room.

I’m loving the gray/beige color so far and how the color adapts throughout the day…

To finish off the room I need to find some additional chairs for the table. I have four options that I’m toying around with in my head:

So, how give me your input!
Which chair option would YOU choose?

Now I’m thinking since it’s a small room I want to be able to see the banquette bench on the back wall so maybe something light and airy like the bench or bistro chairs. But I’m totally up for opinions so help a girl out!

    The second picture would be my choice because of the size of your dining room. I think being able to see through the open backs of the chairs keeps the room open if that makes sense.
    Also the slip covers on the end chairs gives the upholstered feel you want but be easy to clean. The first picture made me itch at the thought of all the nasty surprises that would end up in the crevices. ????

    I like the thought of open back chairs for the side opposite the bench.
    I think you don’t want the skinny bistro chairs per se since the rest of the furniture would over power. But yes, open back chairs (that have the same fabric as the bench) is a good plan, plus it will let you see the table & decor on top.

    Loving the large upholstered chairs in that pic! These on the ends of the table with a fabric that’s a bold print will look great!

    I like the open back bistro chairs with upholstered (1st pic) on the ends. Good luck! The color looks GORGEOUS!
    Very similar to BM sea salt, my favorite gray/beige in all my bathrooms. 🙂

    Where did you get the area rug from? I love it. I just painted my living room, kitchen, and eat in kitchen area Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray. I am going to paint the dining room the same as you. I was nervous about the color. So I looked it up on Pinterest and your post popped up. Our dining room looks almost like yours. We have the white wainscoting with two almost floor to ceiling windows that gets a lot of sun light.
    I do have another question. What kind of drapes did you put up if any. I am having trouble finding drapes that I like. I currently have faux silk in the dining room now but they are red. I know I don’t want that.
    I love the pictures. Thank you for helping me decide on a paint color.
