Posted on February 15, 2011 by Roeshel

Have you ever wanted to browse for room inspiration images by paint color or room type? It’s a great tool for helping you see certain colors in different rooms. Jena from Involving Color has a place to do just that!

Today I’m honored to feature Jena’s dining room makeover. Here is her dining room before:

Here is her dining room after. See all of the details and more pictures at

DINING ROOM COMING ALONG.

Beautiful job, Jena. It’s so welcoming. I love the blue walls and creamy white faux wainscoting (something I’m inspired to do in my home this summer), crown molding and shutters. Decor is so pretty!

Note: I apologize that this post was written during a blogging trial and error time (when isn’t that the case?) so Melissa’s images and html were copied/pasted. Her blog no longer exists, so the images are no longer displaying and the links are broken. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please feel free to visit the “kitchens” category for more awesome DIY kitchen features.

I’d love for you to stop over and visit the post that shares our own farmhouse kitchen makeover full of DIY accents.

Pink Satin Sashes can gut a room and DIY a gorgeous makeover. I love her vintage/cottage style. Her kitchen went from this:

She makes before and after look like an over night magical Cinderella story. But we know that a lot of hard work and love go into DIY. And pride. Melissa, thank you for sharing all of your hard work. You did a beautiful job – your hard work paid off. Your home is stunning!
