Well, it’s a wrap.
Not a total makeover but a good old-fashioned refresh.
To do list:
New lighting – purchased new lamps. Contemplated more modern chandy and sconces. Didn’t get that far:)
New carpet – ordered but not in so I borrowed the chunky one from my family room. Totally works. Most likely will like it better than the one I ordered.
New mirror- check.
Paint furniture – did that.
Bar cart? – borrowed from living room but its staying.
New art – yep. not sure if its staying… jury’s still out.
Host chairs- ordered not here yet but did borrow these two Lee Industries chairs and they look fab:)
I installed the wall covering about 4 years ago but I wanted to paint below the chair rail the cool blue/minty green found in the background of the paper to wrap my room in that fabulous color. Probably should have painted crown and base boards???
And the star of the show… the window treatments. Thank god they made it and were hung last night.
Feel of the room that I was shooting for?
Pretty, classic and tailored yet bright and cheery!
So check it out below…
Window treatments are a two-step cornice box with lined panels made of 100% silk and trimmed in a 2 1/2 inch wide, bright orange trim.
This is the only delicate material in the room. I placed benches in front of the windows too keep dog noses and kid’s hands at arms length.
Bar cart is Bungalow 5.
So there you have it!!

Your window treatments are to die for. I love the color combination. Orange is my favorite color. I love everything about your dining room!
I love the combination of colors and the curtains are to die for. So gorgeous – all of it!
Absolutely stunning! I have a very similar dinning room table that serves as our main dinning table in the kitchen, white antique legs and dark wood top. The buffet in all white in the BM Pewter color and the light blue and orange curtains make the biggest impact by adding light and an airy feel! I have a major blue color crush and you nailed it! Those chairs and of course the bar cart from Bungalow 5 is so chic! Too bad you can't keep the pillows. BRAVO on a job well done! It's been a pleasure participating in ORC with you this round!
Feels like a totally new room. Much lighter, brighter, and luxe. Silk drapes and cornice – I DIE. Truly next level detail that keeps the modern touches grounded with a classic touch. ADORE THIS ROOM. You need those pillows!
That is some beautiful color palette! I'm always stuck with neutrals and I very much admire your use of color. I LOVE all the fabrics, the mirror and art. Beautifully done!
wow, i love how your room turned out. the orange and pale blue color palette is yummy, so fresh and happy!
Of course you keep staring at those drapes. They are just scrumptious. The wholeroom is light, bright, and so cheerful–new traditional, indeed!
Wow. The room looks fantasic, and those curtains make my heart go pitter-pat.
That wallpaper just makes the room. And I love the colors you picked for the space. Great job.
Stephanie….this is a beautiful room!!! Seriously everything is stunning including those curtains. Like ball gowns! You killed it with the styling….love everything my friend:)
Wow~ An absolutely stunning space! I love the draperies and wallpaper. As a fellow 6 week participant the six weeks was indeed a challenge and you rose up. Well done!
Love love love it! And I mean EVERYTHING!
Lucious, beautiful color. What a pleasure to share food and fellowship in a dining room like yours.
It's like a delicious bowl of sherbet! I adore your modern, cheery take on traditional.
Your dining room is beautiful! The window treatments are stunning! I seriously love this room!
Such a beautiful dining room! I love everything about it especially the gorgeous wallpaper, the stunning table lamps, the fabulous mirror, the amazing window treatments, I can go on and on. A very fresh and inviting space! You did a marvelous job!

Sherry thanks so much for the compliment!! It was a good kick in the pants to get it done!
LOVE it, what a fresh and sophisticated room. The details are amazing, I dream of hosting a fabulous dinner party in a space like this… Nice work :),
So glad you kept the beautiful paper and just brightened it up. LOVE the pops of orange and gold accents. This room is unreal beautiful!
Beautiful space. I love that you painted the wainscot that mint instead of leaving it white. It's such a fresh take on classic. And the window treatments- I've always loved that stepped style. So pretty!
Stephanie – this room is just fabulous! The perfect mix of traditional with fresh modern touches. And I'd come over and sit and stare at those window treatments for days right along with you – they are perfect!
Well, BAM! You were not sure you wanted to do this, and then you killed it. So good, girl. Enjoy, this is going to go far.
Gorgeous!! And one of my all time FAVORITE wallpapers!! xx
High five to you Stephanie! 100% awesome!! Such a beautiful room! I love it!
I saw glimpses on Instagram and was already drooling! This is SOOO PRETTY!! The wallpaper and all the details; stunning!!
I just pinned half this post….so good I can't even stand it!!! xo
Oh. my. word. I am so in love with those window treatments I could die. And the welt on the chairs! Perfection to me. The paint below the paper is lovely. Just gorgeous, the whole thing.
I love those white lamps! Great transformation! Would you mind sharing with me where you bought the bar cart? I know it was borrowed from another room but I am in the market for one. I ordered one for the ORC from One Kings Lane but they just notified me after several weeks of waiting for the back order that they can no longer ship it! Thanks!
