Favorite Room Feature: My Crafty Home Life

Darlings! Today we have one of my favorites, of course. Like I would ever give you anything less. Linda is like a really fun, not annoying, blog camp counselor. Linda is the genius behind the One Room Challenge, amongst a few other crazy challenges. Linda is cray cray and I adore her. I know it is going to come as a surprise to you that this space has zero leopard in it. Sigh. That's OK Linda. We have to switch it up sometime. Now let's see her space!
Hello Lindsay's Lovelies! I'm Linda, from My Crafty Home Life and I am thrilled to be sharing my favorite room with you. Since I only have 2.5 rooms in home finished....I flipped a coin.
My dining room won. This is the first room that you see when you enter my home. It was actually the inspiration for the very first One Room Challenge.

It all started like this...from a bad iPhone picture and long before I blogged. I lived with it looking like this for years. Project by project....I tackled the room.

The chairs were a make-over project that you can read about here. I also turned the head chairs into side chairs.

The china hutch was another make-over project that you can read about here. I bought it from a neighbor of mine and it sat in my garage for several years.

The lanterns started off red and dull. I loved the shape, but they lacked sparkle.

After I obsessed over paint choices, the lanterns became blue. You may also notice that the ceiling now has a plank treatment on it. It wasn't hard, and you can read how to do it here.

For the window treatment, I made a custom pagoda cornice

You can see the tutorial for this, here.

I am so happy to have been able to share my favorite room with all of you.

Setting a time limit on a project or room is really a great way to force yourself into finishing. Did you read how Lindsay finished a room in one night? Now that's good! Thanks for inviting me, Lindsay.
