One Room Challenge Week 6: THE REVEAL

Wow, can you even believe its been 6 weeks? I wish all my rooms could be done in 6 weeks. In fact, next up we're tackling our living room - which is just as beautifully pink wallpapered as this dining room. I'd love it if you followed along! We'll be starting that next week! Break? No time for that. If you're just joining me, we've got an entire renovation going on room by room. And I have to say, this room, is by far my favorite so far. Thank you so much to everyone who's been stopping by and leaving me such nice compliments - they've really kept me motivated! I'm overwhelmed with your kindness.

See where we started here. Demolition here. Week 3. Week 4. aaaand Week 5.

I think it's safe to say we have come quite a long way. What have we accomplished in 6 weeks? And by we, I mean me and Josh (and help from a few family members). We're very proud to say we accomplished all of these things by our lonesome selves. It's such a learning experience, but it's so rewarding. Who knew we could build wainscoting and wallpaper? I sure didn't! Here's a little list:

- Frequented Lowe's more than I care to think about
- Removed wallpaper 
- Installed wainscoting and new baseboards
- Replaced a windowsill 
-Patched and painted the ceiling
- Painted the wainscoting and trim 
- Re-wired all the electrical and installed new outlets 
- Installed a chandelier 
- Primed and sanded the walls
- Put up wallpaper 
- Made Roman shades 
- Made artwork 
- Lots and lots of shopping and decorating :)

Enough with words, let's get to the pictures! I hope you enjoy the end result as much as I do. And just in case you may have never seen the before. Here you go. Anyone need a tool or paint can? Better yet, someone get me a maid.


Funny business over. I really cannot get enough of the beauty and the beast sconce to the left. In every picture I took, the light reflected different ways and made the grass cloth all kinds of colors. Oh well, I love every inch.


My beloved roman shades that I made - I think they turned out lined up perfectly. That was a beast I tell you. Also, they aren't up in any of the photos because if they are up, you can see straight into my neighbors house - clean across. I'm willing to bet she's happy our windows are finally covered.


Anyone else a fresh flower on the dining table type of girl? By the way, our last name does not start with an E. But the fact is they were out of W's and as much as I wanted to flip the M into a W, it just wasn't working. 


Remember this room is the hub of the house? Here is your view if you're walking in from the nightmare of a kitchen. 


My mom bought this bench for her house. Turns out, it didn't work for her space but it totally works for mine. Thanks Mom for all the little treasures you give me. And purple? I thought I was doing blue and green. Funny how colors just hit you in the face and lead you in a different direction. 



I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that this bar cart is my absolute favorite part of the room. Especially with the little sunburst sconces peeking in the corner. And fresh hydrangeas. Stop. Alcohol anyone? I'll pour you a glass and we can stare at the wainscoting together. 




This lamp is another gift. I changed out the lamp shade which turned into the most tedious task of the entire room. I mean, really.


I just love how my artwork turned out. I made these little bad boys a few weeks ago and they've been staring me straight in the face ever since. Love love.


So in my first house, this bookcase used to be the armoire next to my fireplace. Now, I decided to make it a china cabinet of sorts. No kids to bump into it just yet, so I think it's safe. 


And there's our W.



As I'm typing this, I'm smiling. I never thought I'd live through a renovation - but if this is the end result, I guess I'm okay with it. 



And there you have it. I am IN LOVE. What do you think? How'd it come out?! Thank you again and again for all the visits and sweet words - and thank you to Linda at Calling It Home for hosting such an awesome and inspiring event.

    1. Hi Ciji! I took two plain canvases + a pack of those garage sale price stickers from Wal Mart for $2 and just kinda stuck them where I wanted them (whatever pattern you choose) and then painted over them (as well as the rest of the canvas) with acrylic paint. When the paint is dry, you just unpeel the stickers and it'll be white where the stickers were! I overlapped a lot of my stickers so that it would make some areas look more chunky. Thanks for asking! Let me know if you have any other questions :) XOXO
