70’s Ranch Dining Room Makeover

November 6, 2017

Hey All! If you have been following along you are well aware we recently gutted a dated 70’s style ranch home. We are winding down on the reveals and TODAY  I am pleased to present you with my favorite area in the home.  The dining room.  As you can see below it was nothing to write home about when we started the process.However, this is the space that came together in my mind the quickest.  Once we established the general feel we wanted to create in the home, the dining room just fell into place. Below you can see my original style board. We wanted a nice open feel, so we tore out all unnecessary walls.  You can catch all the gory demo details here. We then added ship lap (see tutorial here) and  gorgeous laminate flooring to create a warm cohesive atmosphere. (You can get all the laminate floor details here.) The space was really coming together seamlessly, but it needed a little oomph. So what did we do? We spray painted the window panes of  course, and we don’t regret it!  If you are interested to know more about this awesome tutorial  you can check out  how I painted these windows using Frogtape here.  Next we added some billowy curtains. Would you believe these curtains are ONLY $5 a piece!  Yup!  You can see the easiest DIY, in the history of curtains here. 

Alright, without further ado. I give you our masterpiece.  The DINING ROOM!!!!

 The light fixture is one of my favorite pieces.  I actually  made this piece  two years ago but never ended up using it in my home. When we designed this space, I knew exactly where my  light fixture belonged!  This was a very intricate build, but I do plan to publish build plans at some point. 

There use  to be a straight shot view of the laundry room from the dining room. Because that isn’t the most appetizing view we covered up the mountains of laundry with a barn door!   I got the hardware at Home Depot.com. 

 This whole space was completed on a very tight budget.  We tracked down the perfect dining table on Craigslist for $150 and purchased the chairs from the outdoor section of Walmart for $27 a piece. Not too shabby!  I then made a little succulent  holder using succulents I purchased at Michaels during their end of season sale.  Booyah.

 Here is a view from the dining area looking out into the rest of the open concept home. 

If you missed it,  you can see the rest of the kitchen here: 


And more of the living room/sitting room here. 

Alright,  that wraps up the dining room reveal!  Make sure you pin images inspo later, and check back later this week for the entry reveal!

 Take Luck,

 Corey

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

I leaned in heavily to the dark moody feel for the guest bedroom makeover and I love it! The dark sienna  hue, coupled with my @kilzbrand #accentwallchallenge is absolutely stunning. (If I do say so myself.)
I have a room tour, wall tutorial and source links on the site today. #linkinprofile #sponsored #everyprojectisworthit
@Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge @Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge, and you know how much I love a good challenge!
If I am being completely honest, I feel like I rocked this challenge. It is absolutely insane how a single wall can change the entire feel of a room. 

On the site I have a full tutorial on how you too can create this look and all the fun details about my choice of color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & the KILZ 3® Premium Primer

Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects before entertaining guests? As I was preparing the guest room for the Holidays I had an epiphany. I had a vision of what this room could be, and I just cannot let it go - this room needs an accent wall!

I am teaming up with the great folks over at @kilzbrand to create the perfect accent wall, with a gorgeous color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & KILZ 3® Premium Primer. Stay tuned because this accent wall is going to be gorgeous. I just need to pick my accent color. What do you guys think, clay or sage?  #sponsored #kilz #GuestRoomMakeover #AccentWallChallenge #EveryProjectIsWorthIt
