[@lesliebarnett6654]

Leave the wall blank. I love how you added the cutting boards and basket to the sides of the entry. I think it brings a cohesive looks and warmth to your cozy space.

[@margarettheisen2170]

The accent wall looks great on its own.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think so too 🤗

[@YoucancallmeLou]

Oh my goodness you do magic, Megan. At first, I was cringing at the fact that you were painting your table and then I was like trust the process your girl Megan hasn't ever done something cute and I am wowing!! Great job and great video as always. ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you! 😍 I’ve been going back & forth about doing this for a while, but I’m so glad I finally decided to go for it! The table looks like it was always supposed to be this color 🤗

[@gracerodriguez6869]

The table looks awesome and the light, I would leave the wall as is…great job😊

[@debbiejansen555]

Leave the wall empty! It looks great as is. The room is too small to clutter up! Let the focal point be the table and light fixture! They look perfect. Less is more!! 😀😀❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I feel that way too! Everything I try just feels like clutter

[@heidireneehess5968]

Wow big difference. Very beautiful!!

[@Christine-hy3jd]

The refresh is nice…the table looks great

[@edvandervelden4603]

Looks beautiful, great job on the table

[@franceskey79]

Wow!!! This has inspired me to paint my kitchen table!!! Great job Megan!!!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Yay! Glad I could help!

[@jennbenest7388]

Could do a basket wall on the empty wall.. definitely needs something.. basket wall would tie on with the light fixture. Beautiful job.❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I don’t want to do anything too busy since that is a high traffic area. It’s right there next to our pantry

[@rubileija4488]

A Floor mirror would also look beautiful on that wall in my opinion

[@syree1824]

Hi Megan! This couldn’t have come at a better time. What kind of roller would you recommend? Or would anything go with this paint? Im literally heading to Lowes to get this paint ASAP!

[@ruthprovost1781]

Megan very nice your dining room, the table is gorgeous and the light beautiful, the room look different, elegant

[@chillibird2511]

The black is the perfect colour. It blends so well with the whole room. ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think so too!

[@NancyTawil-c3h]

That looks beyond beautiful!! There’s nothing you can’t do!! 🧡🧡

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@kristinecornell8649]

Looks great!!

[@leejohnston8057]

You could do a wall like you did in one of your girls' rooms with the round placemats in some neutral colors. I love your videos!!

[@stephaniealaia769]

It looks fabulous! Who knew with a little touch of paint can make something look magnificent and with some new light textures too! You did a great job! Love how you make your home into a DIY so crafty and creative! It compliments you’re home so much more and please don’t take this the wrong way but it makes you’re kitchen more bigger. And the vase is so pretty and the lil pop of color is just the finishing touches! Have a great week, Megan! 💜😊

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I definitely don’t take that in a negative way! I agree that it looks bigger even though the color palette is moodier 🤗

[@teresagibson4827]

Love the makeover! The new light is perfect! Great job!

I love the light fixture! 😍

Love the way the kitchen looks Megan! I think it looks very modern and warm and organic. Very pretty! Also think it’s pretty badass you were able to put the light fixture together on a whim!! You go girl!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

💪🏼 proud of myself for that one too! 💡

[@jen8491]

Wow! It is beautiful, Megan. The table looks so good. I love it. Love the light fixture too. Great job Megan ❤

@@lovinglifeasmegan I hope so, but I'd be surprised what he even gets me to be honest.

Table is beautiful....looks very high end. Love the light fixture too. Your kitchen and eating area look fabulous.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you! 😊

[@babyk25a]

beautiful did you use the all of that for the table i want to paint my dresser not sure if i need a gallon or a quart also what roller did you use foam ?

[@amymeyeraan-wz9fy]

You are amazing! Not sure I would attempt to change out a light fixture.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. The hardest part was having to do it all reaching over my head lol

[@dayna6938]

I love it, it's like a dark moody tropical vibe!! I am not a fan of the little basket, but if you love it then that's great!! It's your home, not mine. The one wall you were talking about, I think it looks great with nothing on it, if you feel like adding something then maybe a tropical picture/piece of art? Even maybe in black and white? JMO, you did great and love the light fixture. Hugs xoxo

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I agree about the basket. I think I’m going to move it somewhere else.

[@SheilaMiller-od7qn]

You did an awesome job updating your space!! I would put to small pictures on through wall or a clock. I love your dining room!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think I might try to find a cool clock! That’s a great idea!

[@jentatro2390]

It looks fantastic! I love what you put in place of the sconces too! Licorice is the color we painted our kitchen cabinets too!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It’s such a beautiful black! I feel like it can be hard to find a true black, but Beyond Paint really did the damn thing with licorice!

[@CAM-yc7cj]

Omg! Looks so good. I have been wanting to paint my table too. Now i am going to. Plus i am going to use Beyond Paint for a dresser project too ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Yay! What colors are you using?

[@elainedomalewski4954]

I love your kitchen,it is beautiful.😊❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@theresaburns5640]

I would add a piece of wood or shelf with hooks on the blank wall then hang the flower basket there. Add a picture of some clay vases on the wall with bifold door.

[@chrisrivera3957]

So beautiful for a good price, well done

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@shelethajenkins3949]

Everything looks BEAUTIFUL!! For me, I would put a nice clock on that wall.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

A clock is a great idea! 😍

[@DanaComptonWard]

Love that color. Love anything you do though

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@bevalexander5897]

Love the table. I think I’m going to use that paint for my kitchen cabinets. I’ll let you know how it turns out.🤞

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I’ve painted kitchen cabinets with the deep blue & the bright white & they turned out amazing!

[@leah-io3kx]

It looks beautiful Megan well done love from Sydney Australia ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@debralawler-nt9si]

Magical what painting a table and changing a light fixtures does to transform a room

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It really is! Such a high impact on a low budget 🤗

[@dianazenobi2627]

Great job. I like the wall as is.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think it’s pretty too 😊

[@donnacrosleythibault812]

Looks great. What color did you say you used on your doors and trim? Did you do it all throughout the house?

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

The pantry & laundry closet doors are natural cream

[@pamelabell5897]

The Room Looks Magazine Worthy

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

😍

[@danazzimmerman5534]

Oh wow! You did an amazing job!! Looks like a whole new dining set!! And I love the new light!! I like the wall bare. It looks great. I think it would look cluttered if you put anything on it and take away the beauty of the table and light. Jmo Great work girl❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think so too! It almost looks like the chairs could have come with the table, like a real set.

[@SharaLee60]

Megan, you did a fantastic design with the licorice paint! You always do awesome designs! The flowers make the table beautiful!Thanks for sharing! Take care, have a great day! ❤️😉🐾🇺🇲📓✏️🦃🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻☃️✨️

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you! I love magnolia stems, wish I could find more of the ones without blooms.

[@pamelab1175]

I love the black table. It looks great in your kitchen. I also have a black table and chairs in my dining room. I bought all mine black. I’m not sure I would paint a table. But it looks so good. I have pieces in my living room that are black. And my countertops are black with some white. My dining room is open to both the kitchen and living room. But it is small. I love the light fixture you put in. My husband won’t mess with electric, but I did. I changed out an outlet in our old house. I would love to replace all the boob lights we have in our house. I might try painting my end tables. They look okay. And they are wood. But they have gotten beat up over the years and don’t look that great. So I’m thinking I might try Beyond paint on them. I just have to figure out what color I would want.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

They have tons of colors to choose from! Depending on your decor style I would recommend pebble for a neutral grey-beige, licorice is beautiful if you like black, and off-white or linen are gorgeous neutrals!

[@brendahamilton4426]

Love the table. You did a good job 👍

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@ivyflores9983]

Keep it as an accent wall. Everything looks beautiful

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@jdruhmz2976]

Looks awesome! If you really still want to add something to that wall, perhaps a large family portrait in black & white (or color & you can use a specific filter if you want such as a warm one)? I think that idea could work cohesively with the colors of your kitchen & dining table/chairs. You can try Mixtiles where you design your own frame & can even choose frame type & color. Just a thought! Love your channel!! 😃

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

The accent wall creates a lot of texture on the wall that makes frames unstable when I try to hang them. That’s why I had to move the art we had there before.

[@quianthomas5274]

Hey Megan I painted my cabinets with Beyond Paint Licorice and did my countertops with the Beyond Paint Licorice with flecks. Like you, I've used Beyond Paint but not the flecks and they also came with a sealant. I trusted the process and everything came out wonderfully! I love it!! Great job Suga I'd live with the blank space for a minute to see how you like it, it looks fine as is...Give it a minute to see if you come across something that is meant for the space or inspires you..

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I bet your kitchen looks gorgeous! 😍 I’d love to try their countertop kit, but I don’t think I have a friend in need of a countertop refresh right now lol

[@shereenaali5165]

Megan, the dining room looks beautiful. But put back a rug on the table, and you could put some family pics on the blank wall or a big pic with the colors of your dining room. I love how the table came out as well. Have a great day.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I don’t want a rug right now.

[@chrisraven4754]

Absolutely love what you've done!! It looks cozy, warm and inviting. How about a wreath on the wall with the slats.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think a wreath would give more of a farmhouse vibe & I’ve tried to move away from that over the last couple of years.

[@louisechase6875]

Wasn’t sure about the black when you chose it, but you definitely have a good eye! Looks beautiful. And I adore the ceiling light ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@patticake6032]

It looks fabulous the black table but more importantly that light fixture makes a huge statement! The wall is missing something thp❤❤❤❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think it might be missing a mirror 😵‍💫

[@cindyhunter166]

Honestly, I didn’t think I would like the table black…I was wrong, it’s gorgeous!!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

So pretty! I wasn’t sure about it either. It actually took me MONTHS to commit to trying it…but I’m so glad I did! It looks like it was always supposed to have this finish. 🤗

[@savebees]

How bright of a light can you use in the dining room before the wicker gets too hot or is that wicker? I’m not even sure what it’s made out of. It’s a cool fixture though.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I don’t use bulbs that get that hot anywhere in my house.

[@laurabarrientos5013]

Wow looks great!! I vote you leave the white wall empty, it makes the room look bigger and less cluttered

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think so too 🤗

[@janniekoning3268]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thanks 🤗

[@staciejones303]

Family pictures would look nice there or a big picture of your favorite nature the beach or mountains maybe

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I don’t want to hang any pictures because it is such a high traffic area. We used to have 4 photo frames there & they were constantly getting knocked off of the wall 😩

[@bonnieharper9349]

​@@lovinglifeasmeganIf you want to hang something such as another mirror make a faux one first using cardboard the size and shape you would like and use foil for the mirror part. It wouldn't be real but putting it there temporarily would give you some time to see if you would really want something else there or leave it like it is. I like using the different shape cutting boards on that wall you could use as many or as few as you like!

[@andramoore5444]

I love the table! What a difference that made. I know nothing about sconces, but is it possible to buy different shades? Maybe something that would complement your light fixture? Then, paint the sconce black. Just a thought. I really liked them up.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I have another idea for the sconces 😊

[@sazanrasol8519]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️👍❤️👍

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@conniescreations1633]

Suggestion, could put the cute cutting board idea on opposie side by doors and basket where boards are, Love the new look. TfS xoxo

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I can’t create a gallery there because the accent wall makes everything unstable.

[@gladysrobado3684]

Hola megan me encanto le diste un contraste de color a la mesa con el mueble de cafe y esa lampara unifico los colores te quedo bellisimo 👏👏💪🏡👩 te felicito 😊👉 desde argentina 🇦🇷💝💞🤗

[@karenmathis5817]

I actually think that one wall should stay plain. The DIY part pops more and doesnt take away from the table as a focal point. Looks amazing. editing to add that taking the rug away was a smart move. the floor is beautiful. just my thoughts..

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I agree! Now that there is contrast between the table & the floor I don’t feel like I need a rug anymore.

[@lisafriesen451]

I love it but your poor rug got paint on it 😢

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Derek spilled salmon juice on it a couple of weeks ago, and we were never able to get the smell out because it’s a jute rug. So it became the perfect drop cloth lol

[@karinhelsing2516]

A wery big picture, same color as the flower on the table

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Maybe a landscape?

[@Cristielee100]

Those wires are too long. You should cut them short before you put the lights up. It is fire hazard if you don't cut the wires short.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It didn’t say anything about that on the instructions 😳 I’ll have to call my local electrician

[@theresavkamana2228]

Love the look but your light should be at least 36" above the center of the table

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It is
