Happy Sunday Y’all!!

Tomorrow kicks off Round 2 of our “Dog Days of Winter” project challenges & linky parties!! I hope that you will join us!

The challenge this week is “Paint It.” Feel free to link up ANY project that involved painting! You could have painted an entire room or just spray painted a small item. Seriously….. ANYTHING GOES!! 

I wanted to take an opportunity of this week’s challenge to share my mom’s newly painted & made over dining room space…..

Dining Room Decorating Ideas
Gorgeous, right?! 
must say, I’m just a tiny bit jealous of this room!

My mom changed out her wall color, reupholstered her chair cushions, and then added new curtains & accessories throughout. But, my favorite part of the room is DEFINITELY the board & batten treatment that my dad installed. I love it’s classic cottage look! And it’s such a great way to lighten & brighten a room! You’ll see what I mean when you see the before & afters at the bottom of this post! But for now, I’m just gonna let you enjoy all the pretty photos!!

How fabulous is this gigantic cloche my mom found at TJ Maxx?!


LOVE it!! 
She has a couple little birds underneath the cloche as well as a miniature birds nest.

The urn with the hydrangeas in it was a Goodwill find as well as the candlesticks on the table. My mom just painted & distressed them to match her decor.
Dining Room Table Decor

I adore this corner of the room you see here…..

Dining Room Table Decor

So pretty!! You can catch a glimpse of the small table on the other side of the room & some handmade items my mom made to spruce up the space.

Like this monogram tray……

Board & Batten Dining Room Makeover

This was another Goodwill find. It was a dark wood tray that my mom painted white. Then she added a tea-stained doily to the center & painted the monogram in the center.

She also made this little plaque….

It was just an unfinished wood plaque she bought at Hobby Lobby. She painted it and then added some fabric to the center. Then she finished it off with a little lace trim & the accent piece you see at the top. The oversized fork & spoon were then hot glued on. Those were also Goodwill finds. I love both of these pieces because they are unique, handmade, & things that you probably wouldn’t find anywhere else.

Here is a look at some small frames & an oval mirror she has hanging on the wall.

Another one of my favorite things about this room is in the background of these next couple photos…..

I LOVE this corner hutch!

Board & Batten Dining Room Makeover

I love how it is decorated in creams & whites, but I also adore the tarnished copper pieces throughout that add a little color & incorporate the beige walls. The square plates you see in the back of the hutch are from TJ Maxx as well as a couple of other pieces you will see in the next few photos. However, the majority of the decor came for Goodwill.

The little “Milk” container is from TJ Maxx. The small vase with the hydrangeas & the round plate are from Goodwill.

The “Butter” dish is also from TJ Maxx. The tarnished copper pieces are from Goodwill & local antique stores.

The curtains were made from out of a tan & white “ticking fabric” that my mom purchased at Walmart.

The chairs were reupholstered using osenberg fabric from JoAnn’s.

  1. Just a gorgeous room. Your folks did an awesome job. Just wondering if the table and chairs were always white.

    • Thank you! I will be sure to pass the word along to them! The table & chairs were not originally white. They were my great grandmothers & were passed on to my mom when she passed away. My mom painted them white a few years back.

  2. What a beautiful makeover and update!

  3. wow – what a difference the b& b made!

  4. Just beautiful! I love it!

  5. What a beautiful makeover. Luv it!
    Cheers, Gee

  6. What a beautiful transformation! I love all the white and beige and copper. The curtains and chairs look great and all the little handmade pieces are wonderful. A simply beautiful room!! ~ Jamie P.S. What it the paint color that was used? Maybe that will be in another post, I’m just curious as it’s such a nice color… 🙂

    • Hi Jamie! The paint was purchased at our local home improvement store. They do not carry the same brands as the chain stores like Lowes, Home Depot. I doubt you would be able to find the color anywhere else. If you are interested, I might be able to get “the recipe” off the paint can from my mom though!

  7. What a huge and wonderful difference!!! I LOVE your space! Your pictures are perfect and every little detail is SO beautiful!!! You inspire me!

  28. What a wonderful room! Your mom definitely has excellent taste! =)

  29. The room is beautiful!!! Where did she get the chandelier? Thanks!

  30. Hi
    it is a magnificent job done, but (I am sorry…) those tarnish copper pieces look like silver to me,,, I have similar at home(blackish pieces). Perhaps you want them like that, but i guess that the salt and pepper shaker (right word?) and the small creamer would be lovely once polished.
    I really like your decoring and ideas, my husband will get crazy with me now 🙂
