(One Room Challenge) Dining Room Reveal!

Let’s just cut all the chit-chat this morning, and get straight to the reason you’re all here, mmmmkay?! Is it {One Room Challenge} reveal day, or Christmas Day…because frankly, I can’t tell the difference right now!

I’m so beyond excited to share our new room with you…and even more excited to curl up with a cup of wine…I mean coffee, did I say wine? (it’s been a crazy 6 weeks!)…and check out the other 19 participant’s rooms today, and all the linking participants tomorrow. It’s going to be inspiration and eye-candy overload this week, and I can’t wait!

Let’s recap for those popping in for the first time…we chose the Dining Room for our third round of the ORC (see our Master Bedroom here and Living Room here), which happens to be the first room you see when walking in the house…and is positioned directly across from our little jewel box of a Living Room.

Week 1 I shared how the room looked when we bought it, along with the floor and paint updates, Week 2 was all about the design, plans and project list, at the halfway point we talked wallpaper, drapes and tying the open floorpan together, Week 4 we swooned all over the wallpaper that was installed, and last week was drapes and light install, plus a rug dilemma. #whew

I’m not going to sugarcoat it…things got a little sideways a few times, and I wasn’t sure the room would come together like I envisioned (I think some of you doubted me, too!!). But all the late nights and fast food dinners were worth it, because they led to a room I can’t believe is in my house! How about I stop yapping and show you our new Dining Room?

I’m warning you though, the number of pictures is excessive, but then again, subtlety isn’t really my game.

The foyer got a mini-makeover, as well, to better bridge the space between the two coordinating rooms.

I could not be happier with the room…it’s exactly the glammed-up Dining Room I envisioned, and is a perfect balance to the adjacent jewel-box Living Room. And of course what good are After shots without the Befores…I’d say this room came a long way!

Making over a room in six short weeks is pretty much bananas, but if it weren’t for the One Room Challenge, it’d surely be 2018 before we got it done! Sure we had a few hiccups and hurdles, but to come out the other side with the Dining Room of our dreams, has been a spectacular experience. Thank you, Linda, for creating this challenge, and inviting me to be a part of it!

And thank you, for following along on this ride, and all your encouragement along the way. Be sure to check back next Wednesday for more details and a full Source List. #nowIsleep #anddrink #itsmybirthdayweekendafterall
