My 6 Week Vintage Boho Dining Room Makeover

It’s that time of year again.

I’ve just starting looking at doing some pretty intense changes to our dining room. Actually, right now it’s not a dining room. It’s the catch all room that I desperately need to address. When we bought the house, it was listed as the “den.” We don’t need two living spaces and no eating space. Without making this a dining space, we continue playing playdough and eating dining on the couch.

I dream of a vintage filled space with fun patterns, pops of color and boho. Give me all the boho 😉 And having it in 6 weeks sounds pretty awesome.

So I’m going to attempt to finish the One Room Challenge again! As a linking participant, I share my post with tons of other bloggers on Calling It Home‘s blog. Linda is the host of the challenge and that’s her blog. It’s not a competition, but just like the name suggests, it is a challenge. I’m going to show you a bit of the before and for 6 weeks I’m going to feverishly try to finish all my projects and get the room completed.

Here’s the Vintage Eclectic Dining Room moodboard I put together a few weeks ago when this vision was first starting to form:

Featured in my mood board: Hairpin Bench,  Chairs, Shades, Tapestry, China Cabinet from Retro Therapy Rehab, Dresser, Rug, Light, Bar Cart, Boho Chair

And here’s what I’m starting with:

The part of the room you can’t see? Assume it looks like a tornado ripped a bunch of junk about. Just, trust me.

If I’m not posting here a whole lot in the next month, it’s because I’m knee deep in a million projects at once. But if it all turns out as I see it in my head, it’ll be worth it. Because look at this inspiration space. Yeah, I want those walls.

And I’m going to resize a fireplace mantle and surround. Yup. If you want to see how that goes, you can sign up for my RSS feed, where you’ll receive 1 email every morning there’s a new post posted. Wish me luck!
