Winter Refresh Dining Room Update. Experience the enchanting transformation of my office into a formal dining room, adorned with stylish elements from Hobby Lobby, perfect for family gatherings and special occasions.
Winter Refresh Dining Room Update
As the seasons change, so do our homes. Recently, I decided to embark on a refreshing transformation, turning my office space into a formal dining room. This decision was fueled by the desire to create a warm and inviting environment for our monthly family dinners and special occasions like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter Brunch. The highlight of this space is the stunning original 1891 pocket door that welcomes everyone as they step into our home.
The Canvas Above the Buffet: A Decor Dilemma
With the room switch-up complete, my focus shifted to the space above the buffet—a blank canvas waiting to be adorned with elements that would bring the room to life. Contemplating various decor options, I headed to Hobby Lobby Hobby to be inspired. Hobby Lobby’s Seasonal & other departments are 40% – 50% Off right now. I was looking for inspiration to infuse vibrancy and personality into this crucial area, the first thing you see upon entering our home.
Chic Elements for a Bright and Welcoming Space
To achieve the desired aesthetic, I carefully selected items from Hobby Lobby, ensuring they complemented each other and added a touch of sophistication. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements used in this winter refresh:
- Tasseled Off-White Runner:
- A subtle yet elegant addition to the dining room, the off-white runner not only protects the table but also adds a touch of refinement.
- Greenery Garland:
- Bringing the outdoors in, the greenery garland adds a natural and refreshing element, creating a visual feast for the eyes.
- Mercury Glass Votives:
- The flickering light from mercury glass votives adds a cozy ambiance, perfect for intimate family gatherings and festive occasions.
Buffet Beautification
I had been thinking about how to decorate above the buffet for a couple of months. I decided I wanted to put a mirror on the buffet. Did you know that Hobby Lobby has the best selections of mirrors? I found one that was the perfect size. I loved the scroll at the top and sides.
Gilded White Scrolled Mirror:
- I had been wanting a scroll mirror for a long time! I decided it would look even better if I painted it gold. Gilding paint is my favorite. and I love the mellow shine it creates.
Layered Paintings:
- By layering two paintings, I added depth and dimension to the space, creating a visually captivating arrangement. Hobby Lobby has so many beautiful paintings and wall decor to choose from.
Green Vase with Curving Branches:
- Nature-inspired elements, such as a green vase with curving branches, bring freshness and vitality to the buffet.
Three Black Candlesticks:
- A touch of sophistication is introduced with three black candlesticks, contributing to the overall ambiance when lit.
Footed Bowl:
- Practical yet stylish, a footed bowl serves as a versatile decor piece, adding an extra layer of interest to the buffet.
Big Wood Links Garland:
- Adding a rustic touch, the big wood links garland ties together the elements on the buffet, creating a cohesive and visually appealing display.
Creating a Light and Airy Dining Buffet
One of the most enchanting features of the updated dining room is the play of light. The strategically placed gilded mirror reflects and amplifies natural and artificial light, casting a warm glow that illuminates the entire room. The interplay of light adds an ethereal quality, turning the dining room into a space that truly comes alive.
Creating Family Memories in Style
With the winter refresh complete, our dining room has been transformed into a space where family memories are made in style. The thoughtful selection of decor elements from Hobby Lobby has not only added aesthetic appeal but also created a welcoming atmosphere for cherished family moments. I am thrilled and excited about the countless memories that will be made in this newly revitalized space.
