]]>I helped my friends with refreshing their dining space. They moved halfway across the world to live in Houston! They were living in an apartment in Singapore and brought all the furniture with them, but in a Texas home, everything feels smaller. I wanted to help them with their space since moving in itself is overwhelming!
Dining Room makeover- The Before
Here are a few photos of the space before – it’s a well-lit beautiful space that just needed a refresh.
Dining Room Makeover- What I like about this space:
●The wainscoting
●White walls
●Beautiful black sideboard they got from Singapore!
What I planned to change:
●The dining table – the current dining table is small for this space, and they want to be able to host more people here. We got an extendable table just to keep it flexible.
●Pendant light – Again, the current light is small for this space. I wanted a more linear light that’s proportionate for the new table. It also needs to make a statement since this is the first room you see when you walk in!
●Chairs- since this is a room and not a big open space, I wanted shorter profile chairs, as that would make the space feel more open as opposed to 8 tall chairs.
●Add a mirror/art to anchor the black sideboard.
●Address the side wall and change the current art to something that will fill up the space but not look too crowded. Also, I’ll add a tall faux tree to balance the space.
My friends were skeptical of wallpaper but decided to try it. (Spoiler alert – they love it!) I usually prefer the whole room wrapped in wallpaper, but love the alternative of just having an accent wall. It gives the room some pattern and interest without it being overwhelming, and I’m really happy with how this turned out!
Here is what the space looks like now-
I hope you found this helpful if you are making over your own dining space. I’m so glad I could help my friends with this space with products from homedepot.com/decor. They are so happy with how it turned out and that’s the best part for me! Let me know what you think! XO

]]>This post is sponsored by Home Depot. Ever since I started working on our guest bathroom I’ve been dreaming up our guest room makeover and for it to really compliment each other!
Planning
Our Guest bedroom is very basic and I haven’t done anything in there yet. It has an angled ceiling and I want to make the angle part of the wall which will make the bedroom look taller. I also want to do a ceiling detail just for added omph! Since our guest bathroom has Beadboard, I wanted to use that detail in the bedroom ceiling to tie in both spaces. For the walls I went with recessed panel molding.
What helped with the installation
To me, the ceiling is the fifth wall and I always consider it when doing a space. The last time I did a ceiling treatment was for the girls’ bedroom and I used wallpaper for added texture. It wasn’t a good experience mainly because I had a basic aluminum ladder which wasn’t sturdy!
So this time I knew I will not go through that and got myself 2 fiberglass Werner ladders available at home depot – they truly made this install a breeze! The oversized foot pads mean I can run up the ladder 
Needless to say, I’m a HUGE fan!
Here are some of my favorite features that make this Werner ladder from home depot a great option for DIY projects:
- Multifunctional Holster top with hardware bins and magnetic strips
- Heavy duty internal spreaders for easy opening and closing
- EXTREMELY stable with slip resistant traction-Tred steps for safety
- 300 lb load capacity
Getting this ladder is a no-brainer for your home projects! Now I will be confidently doing more ceiling treatments around our home! Once I set up both the ladders on either side of the room we put some liquid nails on the tongue and groove beadboard and attached it to the ceiling with a nail gun.
For the recessed panel molding, I first nailed in the 1×4 and then used a base cap molding (similar to the one in our home office) and framed the inside of the boxes!
