Hello World! Welcome Friends! Well, it’s done! I’m so excited to share with you my breakfast nook! It was quite the adventure and at times I thought I might not get it finished. So, grab a favorite beverage, sit back and get ready to scroll, scroll, scroll.
Let me remind you of what we started with.
Dark brown paint, recessed can light and brown switch plates.
To start with, we painted the walls Sherwin Williams Gray Screen SW 7071. It did a lot to lighten up the space.
Here’s little Misty keeping me company. Let’s start on the accent wall and work our way around the room.
The mirror is stunning in person! It is the Somette Antique Goldtone Framed Mirror from Overstock.
The rug is from Overstock: nuLoom Traditional Persian Vintage Blue Round Rug.
The accent wall was created with Chinoiserie Birds and Roses Wall Mural Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils. The paint I used on the stencil was craft paint I picked up from Hobby Lobby.
The lamps are also from Overstock: Casa Cortes ‘Parisian Buffet’ Hand-Crafted Table Lamps
The lamp shades are perfection.
I bought this set of china from my collector friend, Kevin. It is from China and has Chinese lettering on the bottom; so I have no idea what it is called. Although it didn’t show in the photographs, all of the pieces are gold-rimmed. You can see it in the picture below of the serving pieces.
Let’s just pretend the back hallway has been painted. I really wanted to get this done, but I just ran out of time. The curtains are the Hatfield Lined Curtains from Country Curtains.
Also from Overstock is this fabulous chandelier: Gold Leaf Trellis 4 light Chandelier!
The barstools are from Joss & Main: Vidhi Barstools. They are beyond comfortable! I took a risk ordering these online not having tried them out first. But, they did not disappoint. Sturdy and pretty!
I thought I would show you a couple of shots with the lights on. The table, chairs, and hutch are from Bassett Furniture. Bench*Made 54″ Tavern Table, Bench*Made Three Door Hawkins Huntboard, and Bench*Made Ladderback Side Chair.
Let’s pretend the kitchen cabinets have been painted white and the granite and back splash changed. That’s definitely on the list.
A big thank you goes to my Mom, aka Betty Lou for shortening the curtain panels because I had absolutely no time to get that accomplished. Also, thanks to Mr. Dedicated for helping me hang the chandelier, mirror, and curtains! I definitely could not have gotten this done without their help.

This is STUNNING! That accent wall is so breathtaking and it makes the space feel so special.
Awe, thank you so much, Kate! It really makes the rest of my house look so sad. I need to have a continuous one room challenge to get my house finished! Thanks for stopping by. Popping over to check your space out!
Hi Kathryn…I LOVE that wallpaper! And the gold mirror! The whole room is just stunning…what a great transformation! And I’m with you on needing a continuous one room challenge to get my house in shape 🙂
Thank you so much, Wanda! Actually the accent wall is a stencil that I painted. I got a great workout going up and down the ladder. LOL. Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely rest of the week.
Wow! That’s even more impressive 🙂 What a great job stenciling!
Thanks Wanda!!!
Such details for a stencil. Stunning! You are right, the lampshades are perfection but so are the dishes. You have achieved an amazing makeover. Thanks for taking us on the journey.
Thank you so much, Libby! The photos don’t do the dishes justice. They are stunning! Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely rest of the week.
A very well thought out design, Kathryn, and the execution of it sounds quite the challenge! I always associate the colour blue with you, maybe because of your Anything Blue Friday party. This room is so refreshingly radiant! It must be so welcoming every morning, to sit in the soft sunlight and enjoy your breakfast and the start of your day. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Poppy:)

I absolutely love the wall. Great job and effort!!!!
Thank you so much, Ron!
So, so beautiful! Congratulations, Kathryn!
Thank you so much, sweet Rita! Happy day to you!
WOW!! This is what I call jaw dropping! That stencil just makes the space. That had to be hours of hard labor but so worth it. Love the fabric of the curtains mixed with the stencil too. The table & chairs and the barstools are all just perfect.
You are too kind, Stacey! The stencil took quite a bit of time, but it was well worth it! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, I thought your stenciled wall was wallpaper. That’s impressive. Love how the room turned out. It’s gorgeous.

Thanks so much, Penny!
OMGoodness, I am IN LOVE with everything about this room! It is GORGEOUS! I thought the accent wall was wallpaper. You actually stenciled it? I can’t imagine how long that took! I love the mirror, chandy, lamps, shades….everything!!!! BEAUTIFULLY done!
Pinky, that wall took almost every moment of spare time I had, but it was well worth it! Thanks for taking a look!
It looks fabulous! I love it all.

What a huge transformation! Such a great space to enjoy meals at!

Kathryn I’m in awe that you stenciled that beautiful pattern on the wall. Not an easy task. The lamps, mirror and the chandelier are gorgeous and i love the gold trim on the the dishes. A beautiful room to enjoy everyday.
Awe, thank you so much, Carol! Happy day to you!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love the wall paper, light and mirror together!!! Very elegant Kathryn!

Thank you! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!
Kathryn, your accent wall is so stunning! I love how everything looks so well together, but without a doubt, the wall makes it!
Thank you so much, Carol! Happy week to you!
This is just breathtaking! I love the colors, how the blue and gold pop (and I normally am a silver finish fan) and especially because it’s timeless, yet unique. SO many rooms these days are all the same contemporary style that’ll be dated in 5 years. This is a real inspiration! I’d LOVE to feature this next week – I don’t see the Craftastic Monday button on your party page, could you add it so I can share this beautiful makeover. Keep up the great work & thanks for linking up at Sew Can Do:)
Awe, thanks so much, Cheryl! Thanks for letting me know I didn’t have your button on my party page. I’ve got it added now. There’s always something to clean up on the site…lol. Thank you again for the kind words. It’s our new favorite spot in the house.
Thanks very much! I’m not surprised it’s the favorite spot – it would be mine too. I’ve pinned this pretty place and be on the lookout for it to be featured and shared on Twitter next week:)
Wow, gorgeous! Love the antique mirror and the wallpaper is just awesome. Great job!! Visiting from Made By You Monday party.
Thank you, Victoria! Actually, the wall was stenciled. Time consuming, but oh so worth it! Thanks for stopping by!
So beautiful Kathryn, I love how everything works together. Great job!
Thank you so much! We are really enjoying the space. Little Dedicated said, “It’s our fancy place”!
What a wonderful transformation! That accent wall must have been a lot of work and the curtains are gorgeous!
Thank you so much, sweet friend! The curtains and the stencil will appear in another spot in the house. LOL. Just love them!
Oh Kathryn, you knocked out the park with that stenciled wall. It’s stunning! The entire room is.
Thanks so much, Cristina! Happy week to you!
This update is so cheerful, bright and fun without being garish or over the top. Love how you did this. Congratulations on making wallpaper work for you. This room is gorgeous now
Thank you, Leanna! Actually, the accent wall is a stencil! Totally time consuming, but, oh so worth it! Thank you for popping in for a look!
The breakfast nook makeover is fantastic and the bird stenciled accent wall is smashing!
You stenciled that whole wall?? I thought for sure it was wallpaper and was coming to find out where you found it! AMAZING!
The whole room is just spectacular!
Aloha,
Charlee

Wow, I have had comp issues and missed your final reveal. LUVVVVVV the birds on the wall and the mixtures of cool tones with the warm tones, the round table is perfect–You are going to love this room in every season. Now, I bet you can’t wait to move on to other things…grins. Sandi
Thank you so much, Sandi! We really love the space and you are right; already started on another space. LOL

Thanks so much, Sandra! Actually, it’s a stencil, not wallpaper. I’m glad you thought it was wallpaper. That means I did a good job on the stencil! Thanks for stopping by!
Your stenciled wall looks amazing Kathryn – I would have sworn it was super expensive wallpaper! Fabulous job. xx
Thank you so much, Kate! It was super tedious, but oh so worth it! Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely Sunday!
It’s really beautiful, Kathryn, The mirror on your gorgeous stenciled wall is my favorite. Thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm–pinned!
So beautiful! You’re so brave with mixing patterns. I love it. Thanks for sharing at To Grandmas House We Go. Scheduled to Pinterest too.
I love how the chandelier looks in the mirror. Love the barstools too.
What a great layout. I am a big fan of white kitchen cabinets; can’t wait until you paint them.

hugs,

Just beautiful! Great job on the accent wall. It makes the room. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
What a great job you did in stencilling that wall. It is truly a work of art. I love how you pulled the blues and gold together.
Thank you so much, Mary!
Love your breakfast nook, Kathryn, and am featuring it tomorrow at Vintage Charm 🙂 Thanks so much for partying with us!!
Awe, thank you so much, Diana!
Well, I’m late to the party, but oh my goodness I’m glad that I get to see this! That stenciled wall is just breathtaking! The entire space is just stunning! Thank you for sharing it with us at The Creative Circle Link Party! I’ll be featuring it on my blog this week! 🙂
How exciting to be featured! Thank you so much!
Your room is beautiful! Based on the shape and decoration of your serving pieces, I’m sure your dishes were made by Noritake, possibly for use in their home country of Japan (not China). The pattern is similar to pattern #1538G. They used Chinese characters in their backstamps until 1891. After that, all pieces were marked Nippon, unti 1921, when they started using Japan as part of the backstamp.
I hope you find this helpful.
What a HUGE transformation, Kathryn! Swooning over the wallpaper and paint color. You added so much charm and personality to this eating nook – very nice.
Thank you, Marie! The wall treatment isn’t wallpaper, it’s a stencil. Thank you for stopping by!
Wow, even more impressive – just love it!
Thank you, Marie! Happy day to you!
Where to begin? First of all, I was so impressed by all of the comments here. This is a well-loved blog and breakfast room! I visited last week and commented on the wall stencil. It is spectacular but now… those dishes! I die. And the mirror and the lighting are a perfect pairing. I also wouldn’t have thought to do yellow on the table but it so works. The whole thing is beautiful. Really.
Love your style.
Pamela
Thank you so much, Pamela! It was definitely a labor of love. We are really enjoying the space. Thank you for stopping by! Have a happy week.
Oh Kathryn, it is stunning!
Thank you so much, Roeshel!
