One Room Challenge (Dining Room) - Week 3


Week THREE! I can't believe we are at the halfway point of the challenge already! This week has been a real game changer for the dining room.  The accent wall went up and it is AMAZING! I have to give a huge thank you to WallPops for partnering with me on the wallpaper. It is exactly...actually even better....than what I imagined for the wall!!

 This is the NuWallpaper from WallPops! You may remember I have used their removable wall decals in my youngest daughters room as well as the play area in the loft.  This wallpaper was so easy to install! I actually did the whole wall (10ft ceilings and all) by myself! 

This gorgeous blue patterned paper is the "Kensington Damask Paper"
Find the wallpaper here.....Kensington Wallpaper




To install the paper I started on the upper left side. As the roll drops you just smooth out the paper and lightly pull the backing down.


To smooth out and ensure I left no air bubbles I used a very high end tool...our community pool pass! LOL.  Seriously, any plastic credit card will do the trick.  No fancy tools needed.




In this last picture you can see the paper over our baseboards.  At this point I slid the card over the baseboard crease to form a nice indent.  Then you need to use a razor box cutter and go over the crease.

Easy Peasy People!! After the first row was finished I got back on the ladder and worked on the second row...and so on.  The most difficult part was cutting around the one window in the wall but honestly that wasn't too difficult either. 




And just like that this week the dining room took on a WHOLE new gorgeous look! 


I had my husband help hang up the Lenda curtains from IKEA this week as well.  
You like that little fiddle leaf?! Me TOO!! All those details will be up next week...this was just a little tease :)


XOXO

Neutrals by BEHR Paint

I've been working on a project for the past two weeks and what always seems to be the most challenging part is choosing paint colors.  I have been wanting to find a nice neutral that isn't too "Gray" and isn't too "Beige" but not too white either. I personally like the look of white walls in pictures but in reality I'm not a huge fan.  Also, I like to see a contrast between painted walls and white trim.  Each time I look over on Pinterest for inspiration I find lots of suggestions for other paint brands..but I'm a BEHR girl :)  We spend so much time at Home Depot it just makes more sense for us.  That being said I decided to share with all of you my suggestions for finding the perfect "light Greige" by BEHR Paints!   To start off with here are three options that are lighter/cooler but will still show a nice contrast next to white. 1. Drizzle 2. Sterling 3. Halation These three options are als

Weekend in Miami!

  Over the past weekend we drove down to Miami and spent the night at our favorite beach front hotel..Marenas Resort.  It was our anniversary weekend and wanted to go somewhere we could have fun with the whole family. This is now the second time we have taken the girls to this particular resort (which is pretty impressive because both my husband and I love trying new places.) This resort offers "condo style" rooms which is awesome when traveling with children, has a really good onsite restaurant and is located right on Sunny Isles Beach.  The standard suite has views of both the ocean and the harbor. Stunning views! They also do NOT charge extra for beach chairs and umbrellas which is almost unheard of now a days.  It's moderately priced for everything your getting in this location. These are the views off the patios and around the pool.  I just love Miami's water! Its such a beautiful color and reminds me of the Bahamas!  We spent
