My Dining Room RE-Reveal

After I got my floors done, the black walls weren't working anymore.  I loved the black paint, but the room was just a little dark at night.  And instead of getting new lights installed (which the room really needs...it has no recessed lighting), I painted five times experimented with paint.  I'll add lighting some day, but after the expense of the floors, it wasn't in the cards for right now.

I tried several gray paints, and finally settled on BM Coventry Gray.  It is by far the cleanest gray I have ever used - it's perfect - no purple or other undertones.  I also changed the curtains.  Lastly, I added slipcovers with the large racing stripe, like Suzanne Kasler often uses.  (Thank you for the brilliant suggestion so many months ago Kathysue at Good Life of Design!!)

So here it is.  Unfortunately, the opening to the kitchen is just not quite wide enough to let me take a panoramic shot of the whole room at once, so it is in pieces:

I took these yesterday, when the lighting was a little different...I think they are all flash photos:

Oh, and I painted these to go in the empty corners.  I'm not sure my husband is a fan of having them on the  floor, but I kind of like it for now:
