Dining Room Makeover

It is pretty amazing what a few small changes can do! Today I took a look at our home when we first bought it. Without doing any renovations we were able to transform it into something totally new and fresh! I will be posting different rooms here, but today I will start with my favorite– the dining room!

I will admit, I love the aqua color, but it was the color of our bedroom in our last two homes so I decided we needed a change. I wanted a more neutral, rustic look for the dining area, so I went with a muted grey/beige paint.

Ever since I could remember I wanted a farmhouse table. I fell IN LOVE with this one from Pier 1. It is really so beautiful. The two side chairs and bench are also from Pier 1 and the end chairs are from T.J. Maxx.

My light fixture was something I had also been lusting after. Isn’t it pretty and unique? I loved the look of the floating candles. Plus, it was UNDER $200!!! Great find!

Finally my gallery wall is just dollar store mirrors and finds from Home Goods! I just collected them over the past few months. I feel like it makes the room look so much bigger!

Labor Day Sale Picks: Pier 1

Nothing makes me happier than a great Labor Day sale. All this week I am scouting out my favorite finds from sales that have already started. Today we kick off the week with one of my main obsessions in life, Pier 1.

Pier 1 is offering 20% off select items. If you are a Pier 1 card holder the best day of the week to shop the sale would be tomorrow. You’ll save an additional 10% since it is Platinum Perks Tuesday! Click here to see all the offerings and keep reading to find out which ones I have eyes on! 

Addyson Chair, $314 

This chair is everything. It would add a pop of color to any room without being too overwhelming. In person the print is STUNNING. It would be beautiful in an entry way or reading nook.

Antler Wall Panel, $215 

 

Visit my house and you’ll quickly learn that my decor style is rustic-chic. I love this “reclaimed wood” wall art because it would make my husband happy (he’s a hunter) while still fitting in with the rest of our house.

Mr. & Mrs. Pillows, $24-$28

LOVE this set! Would also make a beautiful wedding or shower gift! They also come in a “His and Her” set and in black so you can match it back to your bedding. I just love anything champagne, so I picked this color way.

Happy Wall Decor, $40 

An inexpensive and sweet reminder of what is important! Everyone should have one of these signs in their home. Also a great gift for a housewarming or newly engaged couple that won’t break the bank!!

Words of Welcome Doormat, $30

Usher in the season with this pretty doormat. I love that the natural coir (which I find cleans off soles the best!) is surrounded by rubber, making this a mat that will last a while.

Pre-Lit Vine Pumpkins, $50-$80

Last year I bought a vine pumpkin from Michael’s but it was not indoor/outdoor like these are. I love the idea of stacking three and placing them right outside my front door. Perhaps with a few straw bales and real pumpkins later on in the season. These are a rustic and simple way to decorate for fall and can be reused year after year.

Witch Hat Wreath, $56 

Seriously… I just love this wreath! How cute?! I have a version from last year’s line sans witch hat. My husband calls it my “prized possession” because I take such good care of it. What can I say? I love Halloween! Pier 1 wreaths are exceptional quality. All of the outdoor items I have ever purchased from Pier 1 look brand new season after season.

There you have it! My favorites that I am sure to be checking out tomorrow! Did you shop the sale yet? See anything you know you’ll be adding to your cart? Let me know which pieces you are loving!
