Dining Room Update – see how I updated traditional dining room furniture with some new looks! All resources are listed below including these gorgeous nailhead wingback chairs!
Our dining room is one of the first rooms I set up and decorated when we moved to our home 3 years ago. As a military family, wherever we are posted, we love to entertain and get together with new and old friends over a relaxed meal!
Our dining room has had a few updates like a new area rug and new black, gold and silver DIY marbled artwork but it’s basically remained the same over the past 3 years as I concentrated on painting and updating other rooms in our home.
Recently, I gave our dining room a mini makeover with some gorgeous new wingback chairs, dinnerware and accessories! Take a look!
I started off my dining room makeover by creating this mood board. To help me figure out what items I wanted to add to my space, I created my mood board with my Signature Style in mind: Rustic, Glam, Comfortable,Elegance!

Here’s how I updated my dining room:
I added two of these gorgeous comfy tufted nailhead wingback chairs, one at each end of our table – aren’t they stunning?
I’m love the linen fabric, button tufted style and those oversized nailheads….oh my! When updating dining room furniture keeping upholstered pieces neutral is a wise decorating decision.
Next update – new dinnerware! These white embossed pottery plates from Portugal are so beautiful!
The gray napkins made from 100% cotton are so soft and are a stunning dove gray color.
These geo terrariums are a great way to showcase some greenery and bring easy to care for succulents into my dining room.
This bronze drying rack is a smart way to store mugs for after-dinner coffee or tea.
Gray velvet pillows in a basket add more amazing texture to our dining room.

August 17, 2015 at 7:48 amIt looks gorgeous with the new additions. I’m smiling because I’m looking at those wingback chairs and they remind me so much of the new sofa we just bought. Linen with nail heads just like those chairs. Great minds?
