Dining Room Makeover Reveal

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure.

My Classic Chic Dining Room is done! I’m so excited I was able to complete the One Room Challenge on time. All the little details worked out and it looks similar and completely different at the same time. I have to say I love how the room turned out and I hope you like it too!

In case you missed any of my previous post’s find them all here:
Week 1 // Week 2 // Week 3 // Week 4 // Week 5 // Reveal

So here is where we started:

Dining room before makeover. Dark wood floors with dark 8 person dining table and soft blue wall color
Damaged white window sill

The base was there but the inspiration for me was my grandmother’s book of birds.I wanted to bring the nature and glam but not stuffy or overly formal. I feel like I did it and still managed to make all of the elements already in the room work with my vision. I am a budget gal, so I couldn’t go out and just buy a new dining room table.

And here it is today! Welcome to the reveal (and picture overload):

Classic chic dining room with area rug, natural accents, gray curtains, black lanterns, and soft blue walls.
Side view of classic chic dining room. Soft blue walls with white wainscoting, potted plants, neutral rug, and gray curtains.
Soft blue stenciled dining room wall with white wainscoting. Set of white framed birdlife artwork, complimented with potted greenery.
Studded white accent chair in dining room with pillow in front of potted plant and light blue wall with birdlife art.
Dining room place settings. White table runner with place settings with and wicker placemats, white dinnerware with blue accents.
Dark wood wine cabinet in corner of light blue dining room with potted plant, framed photo, and white decorative rabbits.
Ceramic white rabbit decorative piece

And here it is decorated for christmas:

Black lantern centerpiece with magnolia flower garland on blue table runner.
Christmas table setting with blue candles inside black lanterns. Magnolia flower garland. Silver ornament, deer, and berry accents.

    I love how it turned out especially for six short weeks! Oh man, those window sills reminded me of when my great dane was a puppy! Yep, we had to repair quite a few of them! I love the wingback chairs and the blue color!

    No such thing as picture overload! Your room looks fab, and I think “Classic Chic” totally sums it up. I love how you worked all the blues together – so soothing and inspiring, all at the same time!

    Beautiful room. I love the calming wall color and the bird prints are perfect and wonderful that it was inspired from your grandmothers book. That rug is amazing in the room
