While I was home, there was a little window of time where my mom felt pretty good. So we decided to make the most of it and enjoy our favorite hobby- decorating! I have been begging my parents for a while to let me re-do their dining room, and they were finally up to the challenge! It had been 20 years since anything in this room was touched, so it was definitely time.

As a rule, we only shop at inexpensive stores, which consisted of Homegoods, Hobby Lobby, Target, Walmart, and Kohls. We don't even go in the pricy stores, it's just not worth it! The beadboard is my favorite part. We simply bought the panels from Home Depot, my dad cut them to size and nailed them on, and I filled in any minor gaps with caulk. It cost less than $100, and we were so happy with how it turned out! I think if I could do college all over again, I'd get my degree in interior design. It's funny how much my mom and I enjoy it....we are giddy throughout the whole process!
We also finished the foyer. Just a few little touches and it looked completely different!
