When major makeovers aren’t in the budget, a can of paint and a few inexpensive accessories can make all the difference! This dining refresh only involves painting a hutch, buying a new set of chairs, and some new stylish dishes. Yet the entire look is completely different in design style. No matter what your preferred style is, […] Read more…
*This post is awesomely sponsored by my friends at The Home Depot The kitchen is the heart of the home for so many cultures. It is where the delightsome smells and flavors make the holidays special, and where wondrous concoctions are savored at mealtimes by families of varying backgrounds all around the world.

Whew, what a difficult One Room Challenge! Not because this was a tough room to decorate, or because it required a big remodel, nope…rather because in all 6 (actually 7) weeks we had to get it done, the items I ordered didn’t arrive until a week or so ago. It was definitely a race to the finish…as […] Read more…
*This ORC post is made possible by MODCREATIONStudio found on Etsy! Affiliate links below… I am determined to design a beautifully moody space… My guest house dining room is so dark, probably because it is shaded by a ton of tall (but gorgeous) trees in the backyard. All I know is that the ugly outdated ceiling […] Read more…
Guys, today is suppose to be our report for week two of the One Room Challenge. Yo. I’ve been just a little bit like a chicken with my head cut off. I can’t even begin to tell you how nuts this week has been, and how many things went comically wrong. I should maybe star […] Read more…
Since we moved into our new house two months ago, I’ve had picture frames, vases, and dishes sitting atop TV trays the corner of my dining room, and it was driving me crazy! Sooner or later, one of my kids, or maybe my little one-year-old nephew would inevitably bump into the TV tray and in series of unfortunate events […] Read more…
*This post is sponsored by GLIDDEN® paint, who we officially think of as a good friend of the family (you’ll see why). All opinions, projects, and messy kids are my own. Why does it always catch me by surprise? After three kids you’d think I would no longer be shocked at the mass level of destruction even […] Read more…
Ok, it’s not pretty…it is kind of a weird hodgepodge of styles that could have been popular, but really just didn’t make the cut. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about my happy dance. Oh you thought I was referring to the mismatched furniture in my dining room I’ve been promising to show you? Haha! Every […] Read more…
Do you remember the last time I painted upholstery in my home? It was magical I tell you! I took a couple of worn mid-century modern chairs and gave them a much needed refresh using Chalk Paint® decorative paint. Well, I’m excited to join up with Annie Sloan Unfolded for their #MadeItMyOwn campaign! This time I’m taking an army of mismatched […] Read more…
Oh man. What was I thinking?? So, you know how it is when a friend you’ve been dying to spend more time with accepts your dinner invitation…then a week before this simple dinner you look around your dining room, have an epiphany on decorating and decide to give it a “quick sprucing”, which ends with all the furniture moved into […] Read more…
I thought the previous owners did a very nice job creating a very traditional and warm space, but it just wasn’t me. I really did try and live with the red floral in the dining room, I just am not a floral print kind of person. It couldn’t be done, I appreciate the traditional touches, […] Read more…
