Welcome back to Week 4 (four already?!?!?!) of the {One Room Challenge}! Before we dive in, I was glad to hear you’re on the puffer vest bandwagon with me…especially since you’ll likely be seeing a lot of them around here in the coming months!
Now…back to the Dining Room. 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, and last week we talked wallpaper, drapes and tying the open floorplan together.
You bet your boots I hired it out…no way I was going to risk ruining that stunning paper…nor my sanity…by trying to hang it myself! And it was worth every single penny…Laura did an amazing job hanging the paper (no mess or smell, and she did the entire room in a day!) DFW peeps, email me if you want her contact info.
So good, right?! Don’t worry, the gray walls are going buh-bye.
I grabbed my treasured Juniper Briggs print off the wall, and tested it against the wallpaper…hello, perfect!
I immediately contacted Juniper, and crossed all my fingers and toes that she had a piece that would work in my room. But after seeing the design board, she felt inspired to create a commissioned piece specific for the room! #pinchme She sent me this progress shot, and I’m already in love!
On to the deliveries…one day it was these ginormous boxes, which held the most stunning purple lamps. Yes, purple.
And remember we went out of town for a few days…well the babysitter was exposed to the craziness that is ORC…we came home to all this.
Which held these gorgeous, and amazingly sturdy, ghost chairs…eight of them, to be exact.
A few gallons of paint and a saucy leopard rug…
For some nut-ball reason, I decided to include the Foyer in this makeover fun…so that orange door needs addressing, and you can see the new rug size in play. #itsleopard #andamazing And no, I’m not decorating for Christmas early, that mistletoe may or may not be left over from last year’s home tour.
And now that the wallpaper is up, I’ve also got to choose and order a rug for the Dining Room! My assistant, per usual, is no help. Although, I think her vote is for leopard.
So much for thinking we’d made good progress!! Is it me, or is that project list growing?!?! #sendwine #andhelpers
Love watching the progression of this space. Can't wait to see the final look!!
that wall paper is so pretty! Coming together so well!!
MORE PICS! MORE PICS! MORE PICS! Don't mind me if you see me peering in your windows someday soon. I'm thinking it might be worth the little drive for a real sneak peek! 😉
I am dying! That commissioned artwork? The wallpaper? The leopard rug? It's all just so, so good!
I'm jealous of it all….but inspired as well! It's looking sooooo good! Can't wait to see it done.
Ghost chairs and Leopard forever!
Ghost chairs and Leopard forever!
That is some bold wallpaper! What color do you plan to paint the wall below the chair rail?
You shall see! 🙂 xo
Oooh this is super exciting!! Can't wait to see it all!!
Baited breath waiting to see the results (no joke)!! I love your style and cannot wait to see the end results!!
Absolutely swooning over that wallpaper! I can't wait to see the final result!
Looks amazing already! And your helper melts my heart 🙂
Love it, can't wait for the reveal!
I will take the chandelier if no one has claimed it!!!!
I just took my mistletoe down from my entryway light this weekend!
Ohemgee!!! That wallpaper is amazing!
I'm drooling !!!!!! Leopard rug, wallpaper, and omg that art is going to be the showstopper!!!
That wallpaper is EVERYTHING!!! Your ORC are my favorite!!

Love it! Can't tell if the scale is right, but have you considered putting your existing chandy in the foyer?? Just a thought!
I've carried that chandy to every room trying to find a spot…the scale is just all wrong for any other spot. :/ But it's going to a good home with a reader…so that's a bonus! xo
Very unique and pretty wallpaper♥
I love your assistant photos! 🙂
Beautiful room.
That wallpaper!!!! Yes it is fantastic! I love the pictures of your puppy…..such enthusiasm…..hahaha! Let's do this….2 more weeks!
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who keeps the painter's tape people in business figuring out what size something needs to be! It's so helpful to have a visual. Your choices look beautiful and can't wait to see the finished product. My "assistants" are even less helpful…they will pick up what I am working on and take it to another room!!
Great chandelier hack! I got my first ghost chair this week (for our mudroom)…I've loved them forever! By the way, whats the status on your laundry/mudroom? Ours is finally finished except for some accessories (and we need better pictures). http://www.ourcorneroftheworldblog.com/first-look-at-a-finished-mudroom/
Your mudroom looks fantastic!!! Ours has stalled…just waiting for our turn with the contractor! xo
I ADORE that wallpaper!! LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to see the outcome of this space! XO
Oh it's all looking so good! And that wallpaper is stunning! I hear you on the growing to do list – how does it keep getting longer?!?!

All this stuff for free?
There is certainly quite a bit provided by sponsors, but a fair amount of it is paid for by me. And we are not required to use any/all of the sponsors, so anything chosen is done so because I truly love it! But because of the generosity of the sponsors (secured by Linda!), it's definitely an honor and huge opportunity to be part of the ORC though!
I think I've already said this but I can't wait to see this finished! You inspire me to more brave with my interior dreams……and did I mention I love seeing your Pupper Miss in your posts 😉
It looks like Christmas at your house. Looooove the wallpaper and the rug.
I’m really digging the pattern on the wallpaper! Who makes it?
Thank you for this nice sharing. Great post.
Thanks so much, Emily!
