Dining Room Inspiration
August 31, 2011 | Posted by Jessie under Dining Room, Inspiration |
We’ve recently overhauled the kitchen and master bedroom {and parts of the master bath}, and now we’re moving onto the dining room. We’re getting close to having our first floor “done” {at least if you ask Mike}. Our plans are well underway, materials are being bought this week and we’re very excited to tackle this room. We’ve already revamped a buffet {ignore the bad photos and awkward writing-it was early on people} and I made some placemats awhile back, and of course we’ll keep my sister-in-law’s beautiful artwork gift in there as well, but here are some inspiration photos of what’s to come {click on image for source}.
DIY Wainscoting. We’re still trying to decide between two styles and here are some great tutorials we will likely refer to:

We have board and batten in our entry which is right outside of our dining room so we are trying to decide between a similar style {like Remodelaholic’s version} or something completely different {like Centsational Girl’s version}. Any thoughts?
We’re headed to Chicago next weekend so we’ll definitely be stopping at Ikea to pick these up {or something similar, depending on what hits us while we’re there}:
Of course we’ll have to add some rustic wall display, something similar to these:
I have some simple, but hard-to-miss artwork in the plans, that will make a statement like this piece:
The two head chairs of our dining table will get a pretty outfit like this:
And to finish it all off, we might add some meaningful artwork:
And to leave you with plenty of inspiration, here are just some great dining rooms I love:
We’re starting work this weekend! Can’t wait to show you our progress:)
I can’t wait to see what you guys do with your dining room. We recently redid our dining room as well with a dark blue gray on top, chair rail and white on bottom. Currently looking for new curtains!
