The finished dining room in all its patterned layers

This is the final date to link up for the One Room Challenge! So i't’s time to pre-reveal the room with plans to share the final reveal when the chairs and window treatment hardware arrive. Details about how this space of many layers seems to somehow work, based on the principles of design.

This is finally the week we’re talking about the chairs! They still are not completed yet, (the fabric shipped today to my upholsterer) but I wanted to share the style I am going with and what has to be done to make them look the way I want them to be.

This week is all about wallpaper! Since so many people have asked me for wallpaper demos or tutorials, I’ve decided I wouldn’t do that, but I will provide some of my favorite tips and tidbits I’ve learned, as well as favorite tools and supplies I use for wallpapering.

For week three of the ORC I started wallpapering and thinking about artwork. I also finished painting the ceiling.

It’s time to talk about the blue ceiling I’m planning for this room! In this post I’m delving into the process as well as the reasoning behind why I’m choosing to paint the ceiling of my dining room light ‘haint’ blue!

Here we go again! Joining the One Room Challenge again for my second go around and this time we’re remodeling the dining room!

A touch of modern, leaning towards traditional with a lot of French influence. I wanted our dining room to be the eclectic and slightly strange mix some of my favorite eras in design, while still incorporating some of my existing collection of antiques and vintage artwork.
