Spring Dining Room Makeover ~ Cottage Style Dining Room ~ Dining Room Refresh ~ Cottage Core Decor

[@junehudgens]

Oh, Mary! You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard you say that you were installing wallpaper in your dining room! Wow! You were inspired again because it is gorgeous - cozy, charming, inviting, and a beautiful breath of warm spring air on this 27 degree morning in southwestern Missouri. Now I can’t wait to get going on our dining room, which has bothered me ever since we moved in 5 years ago! Can’t get my Wednesday going until your video comes on to enjoy with a delicious cup of coffee. Thanks for the invigorating, positive inspiration!

[@Freddybender123]

I’m also born and raised in Missouri ❤

[@rosemarietrabosh2011]

Cozy and bright!

[@vickyroberson2441]

Just the right amount of wall paper! Love it! Your dining room is so bright, cheery & looks like spring!!! Good job!

[@tresawilkins7159]

Fellow Missourian here! Eudora, MO

[@lynnbontrager2069]

Love the wallpaper!

[@shanimarais9695]

Well, now... knock me over with a feather 😂. Mary incorporated COLOUR into her decor! Bravo Mary! IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD YEAR!

[@SewWhittle]

😂

[@darlenemc3586]

Somehow the bright room became brighter with the wallpaper! I love the change, it's refreshing and inspiring.

[@joglesby8079]

I love the addition of the floral wallpaper. And removing the shelf with all the things looks so fresh and clean.

[@marylenhastings6533]

What a beautiful transformation into spring in your dining room. The wallpaper is gorgeous! Everything looks fresh and clean! Great job!

[@rosemaryharris6064]

Your dining room looks so warm and welcoming. When I saw all your leftover wallpaper I thought to myself, "I know Mary will find some way to use it. She will either use it in a tray or in a frame or one of those trash to treasure projects." I love the tiny cutting board, vase of dried roses and pot of daffodill greens. When you do a make over, I love all the accent pieces you add. Everything blends so well together in the end. Your video has left me feeling cozy mid February's snowy chill. ❤

[@ninaadams3465]

So pretty! At 83 I don't much of this anymore, but you have inspired and energized me so I'm going to get busy. Love all you do!

[@karanmyers5879]

I am almost 81 and bought paint to refinish 2 doll cradles and odds and ends. This is a first and way out of my comfort zone. Thank you Mary for all of your videos 🌺 I will refer to them.

[@traceymichael1449]

Way to go ladies!! You are both inspiring others as well.

[@margaretmurphy9795]

I am 77 and always come away inspired too!

[@JoRousey-yr3dr]

72 years old here! This past week I bleached and made drop cloth valances for the kitchen and great room. I also painted two small pieces of furniture for these rooms. You have certainly been the inspiration for these projects. Now I need to work up the courage to paint my kitchen table and chairs!

[@janecarrico5297]

I LOVE that wallpaper!! A little shabby chic along with cottagey. And with you there is no such thing as “waste”. I am pretty sure we will see you lining a drawer or shelf with it in a future thrift makeover.

[@kayjane2115]

I told my husband that I do not think there is anything you couldn't do or wouldn't try! The addition of the wallpaper really adds so much to the space! So pretty!

[@treasureslayer3049]

You’re so fortunate that your husband lets you do what you like with your home. The paperwork is beautiful

[@ENFPerspectives]

"Let's her"? Is she his employee? Did she need permission? I'm confused.

[@godschildyes]

​@ENFPerspectives Some husbands don't allow it, which is crazy, but true.

[@ednajewell491]

HOW BEAUTIFUL!!! Each renovation leaves me awestruck. How can you make somethimg absolutely beautiful more beautiful EACH time?!!! I marvel at how easy you make your amazing transformations look!!! In the time you plan, dust, dismantle, clean/scrub, vac, wash windows, measure & hang wall paperpaint, create tchotch·kes and present a video of the finished project; I'd still be wrestling with measuring/matching the wallpaper pattern!!! 😂😂😂

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

Love it! Gave the area a softness that shows a lady lives in the home. Way to go moving out of your comfort zone. I love watching your videos!

[@paulasherrod351]

Clean, crisp, and so YOU! It’s a very refreshing makeover. And since you are the only woman in the house, the flower wallpaper is perfection!👍

[@sylvi4444]

She does have a husband 😊

[@maryruther1842]

Your wallpaper is very very much me ~ everything looks so comforting ~ just need some homemade potato soup and homemade white bread, and I will be over 😊

[@ddgreen4913]

I was holding my breath as you stood on tip-toes in socks on the edge of the table. But you didn't fall. You have the balance of a ballerina.

[@annbailey311]

Mary this is just the sweetest transformation. The paper is so beautiful. The little birds and the glass cover are adorable. Now I’m ready to spring clean and decorate.

[@Cherie5353]

I love it. I’m gravitating towards a more cottage core vibe lately. The rose wallpaper is beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@teresajohnson9496]

Just lovely. It is so encouraging to see women who love their homes. Wndersful!

[@gailcooper5646]

Mary, the kitchen eating area looks so beautiful. Papering just that bit of wall space changed everything, and your choice of wallpaper is positively perfect. I love it!

[@ShineThroughFaith]

Getting out of our comfort zone is always scary. Mary, I have to say the cottage feel is definitely on point. Love the freshness and the feel of the room. ❤✝️

[@charlenegates1711]

Mary, your room looks beautiful. That wallpaper just brightened up the entire space. 💕💕💕💕

[@debbied3116]

The wall paper sure brightens up your dining area. It looks so very nice. Thank you for sharing your home and your DIY's.

[@susanhaddan4633]

The wallpaper added just the right amount of color to the dining room. Love it as well as all the decor you added. Great job!!!

[@lucihedley5568]

Mary, I should have said how much I like the wall paper. Makes the space look more homely and cheerful.

[@JaniceDodson-c4z]

I love the wallpaper! What a beautiful difference it made ! I have to smile when I watch you work ; it reminds me so much of myself when I was young . Standing on the table or chair was always my go to when needed 😊. You are very talented and always so polite and kind . God bless you. Thank you for sharing.

[@phylliscalkins1607]

The floral wall paper is beautiful! The whole room looks like spring. So refreshing!

[@kimberlycaudill1820]

The addition of the wallpaper is exactly what your dining area needed, love the pattern and colors! Happy Spring!

[@designdoctor247]

6:49 i love it!!! 🌸🌺🌿especially w out the curtains... hope u paint the dinning chairs white 😊

[@meeshell91365]

I'm not even halfway through the video and I just had to come here and say "WOW!" I LOVE that wallpaper and have been looking for something just like this for my laundry room! Thanks for sharing the link! It's amazing how a little bit of color can add a spark of joy to a room!

[@rhondaroles1633]

I love the cottage flower feel. BE CAREFUL standing on chairs ❤

[@user-cj9ed2dg8k]

Love your roses! Baby birds and bench cover! You crack me up painting in your pretty outfits and not getting on you! Miracle! ❤😂😂

[@deborahanneohara9386]

Right ? How do they do it ? ?

[@ednajewell491]

Yeah! How does she do it?!

[@TammyB-x2h]

I love the pop of color the wallpaper added.

[@laurieanne9712]

How cute if you could line your centerpiece cheesebox with some of your extra wallpaper. Or drawer liners? Loved everything & the great new look!

[@bluesky7226]

Oh Mary! What a beautiful change! The wallpaper just warms up that space! I hope you like the change because I love it! ❤

[@diannehiggs]

Gorgeous - just enough of the wallpaper to make it interesting. And I'm sure you'll find something fun to do with the off cuts!

[@sonja_hooper]

Very Pretty and Fresh Looking

[@patriciakumar115]

Mary, your choice of wallpaper is spot on! The dining area looks so fresh and inviting. I simply love all of your creative choices. Thank you for sharing.

[@ellyntallon2255]

😊 mary, mary, mary... 😊 always go for it never 2nd guess yourself, try it if ya really like it... sweet! If not go back to the beginning or do something else 😊 your creativity and diy skills far our way your doubt so just always put a positive foot fwd. 😊 you got this

[@renee5713]

mary mary mary....what a cozy and romantic corner you have made of it. You're probably constantly looking up because it turned out so well. looks much calmer and tidier. And about the wallpaper, the larger the print the more waste you have. great job girl.

[@designdoctor247]

9:15 leaving the corner cabinet out of the room...turning the table might give a new feel to the room...a round table aaahhhh that would be so nice😊

[@designdoctor247]

11:43 yiippeee u did the white chairs 😊

[@vickinoeske1154]

The wallpaper is so pretty and happy. It just changes the mood of the room. Lovely.🩷🌹

[@sharongiesey7071]

Mary the wallpaper is beautiful, so glad to see a little bit of color in your space. I love your channel, I don't always comment, but watch all your videos.

[@Roxycharms]

Love the wallpaper!

[@darlaslate3415]

Love the wallpaper! It defines the area and warms an otherwise boring all white room.

[@joannebrazeau6533]

It looks beautiful, light and feminine, I love it❤️🎶🤗🎶🇨🇦

[@peggyraiees-dana1155]

The transformation is a breath of fresh air..... beautiful !

[@bonnie3170]

I think touches of pink depression glass would really look nice on a few of your shelves would look so nice with your new wallpaper

[@laurahazel6884]

Thinking exactly the same thing! Mary, you have subtle touches of pink on your tablescape with the dried pink rose blossoms, and pink accents on the other side of the room. One floral or pink accent piece in your china cabinet would tie it all together!

[@ginaharwood3858]

Mary! The dining area is absolutely darling! It could be on the cover of a magazine! Love it so much!

[@MarilynMcConnell]

Beautiful Mary.

[@sharonfimpel7447]

Yeah. It nice. It makes the dining room POP.

[@CJ62348]

Your new look is beautiful! So clean and fresh besides decorative.

[@lezacurtis5880]

Love how the wallpaper coordinates with your beautiful repurposed side chair!❤❤❤

[@brenda9513]

Both before and after looked good. The after looked very refreshing. Good job.

[@tammypyle4847]

Yes! No more stark white. I love love your new look. You brought me back in. It looks so inviting!

[@lorraineearle5967]

Mary, the dining room is charming! ❤

[@susanhonkoski7706]

Breath of fresh air Mary!!!! ❤

[@dawndawn6946]

Cottage decor has always been my goal for our home. I'm thrilled that I now have the time resources to focus on decor. I'm also thrilled that the "cottage core" movement has made it possible to source affordable decor. After living in our first ever home, I will be able to design and decorate to my heart's content! Your dining space turned out lovely!❤

[@annemaguire657]

Very nice indeed, lovely kitty supervising…..and St Patrick things ❤️🇮🇪

[@cherrylhogg5760]

The wallpaper is so pretty

[@janrowley2473]

Your dining area is so sweet. I love your beautiful combination of wallpaper and spring items.

[@artsofgold]

Beautiful Mary! It’s a breath of freshness and elegance with the roses!

[@timeaaraouzou710]

Your home is like a little piece of Heaven on earth, Mary. Simply gorgeous. Peaceful and warm, full of love and light. Only the term 'lucky' jars with me, as I believe we Christians actually mean 'blessed'. What do you think? ❤

[@debraking5876]

That is beautiful!!

[@carolblagg3859]

So fresh and pretty...spring inside and snow outside.

[@anahitadunn9823]

Beautiful! I like the room without the curtains because the wallpaper acts as a curtain 🌸🌿🌸

[@georgiasmith9477]

I LOVE your dining room makeover! Now you just need a few pink dishes in the corner cupboard. 😍

[@maryellenhilli2343]

I had the same shelves over my picture window and my slider. I took them down last year. I do miss them though.

[@jeanettesmith353]

Us left over peice for future crafts

[@bonnieirwin1621]

Wow!! What a difference the wallpaper made!! Still nice and bright! I would love to make changes but my house is so dark, grandma style because I moved back home after my dad died and he has his mother and aunt's furniture, very dark. Yours is so nice, bright and clean❤. I do have a small shed my dad had with woodworking tools. I'm starting to use it now. Fun!! Well, great job!

[@MsKatillac]

Love the addition of the beautiful wallpaper! It's just enough so it's not overwhelming. Great ideas and I can almost smell those beautiful soaps and candles from here!

[@galemurphy5497]

Good job venturing out of your comfort zone.

[@conniecline201]

It’s so fresh now makes you want to breathe deep. Great job

[@ruthmarpole2904]

I love the wall paper, and it looks just right with the white bottom walls. Love the way you decorate your home

[@PamArganbright-rv1yf]

Love the "rose" wallpaper & added color! Happy Valentine's Day!!!

[@kithill6817]

I cover cardboard boxes with leftover wallpaper. You are an amazing wallpaper artist. Wow!

[@kimberlysusie701]

Love the new edition to the dining area! That pattern of wallpaper or fabric has always been one of my favorites.

[@chrissywinsorkennedy9483]

Oh my goodness, your choice of wallpaper is brilliant!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊 Everything is stunning!!!!!!😊

[@sarabates2046]

I love it. The pink is so refreshing. You add a beautiful touch to everything.

[@annetteandreotti3338]

The wallpaper is everything .💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

It looks so inviting and fresh. The wallpaper is gorgeous

[@EileenHoltry]

Very pretty! As a former professional paper hanger, you did great. The paper has a large pattern repeat, so waste is unavoidable when matching your pattern, especially for a small area. If folks want to conserve paper, try finding a pattern with a smaller repeat.

[@rinajacobs9892]

No need to worry it is lovely wallpaper.

[@donnawojdacz6969]

Very cottage, very English. Love it!

[@CVenza]

Love how you choose charming names for your work.

[@oraliamasswadi662]

That wall paper came out so very nice I really like it. Love the greens leaves coming out of the paper and all the nice touches you added Beautiful ❤️🪴🌿

[@cindygray4533]

Ooo! I can see it, you haven't started .....I can't wait ❤

[@reneeharris3072]

I thought it was awful that you would take down the beautiful shelf above the window, but the after is just amazing... 😊

[@Nix896]

Sometimes you can take alternative drops from 2 rolls and save paper, I love that you misted and kept it simple.

[@elinorlenehen3143]

Everything looks lovely and refreshed. If you wanted to perk up the roses on the table you can steam them and "fluff" them out.

[@patriciaskitch2341]

Thank you for teaching us that it’s okay to step out of our comfort zone to try new things. Your eating area looks so cozy and charming Mary, just love the pop of delicate floral pink. The white chairs adds a softness as well as the bench ruffle. You’ve shown us over the years how we can decorate on a budget and use things we already have in our homes. Love your channel.

[@loisrader8089]

Oh the wall paper is beautiful. The room was beautiful to start with but it's amazing at the transformation

[@Kiki-wi7px]

MARY, You Are So-o AMAZING ! ! ! Very Pretty Wallpaper. It Goes Great with the White Paint. 🌸

[@Francine-ph7xy]

The wallpaper really makes it look nice there was too much white before 😊

[@heathermacleod7068]

Oh Mary it’s gorgeous!! At first I wasn’t sure about the wallpaper… but it’s perfect!! How this has brightened your already beautifully bright home!!! Love it!!!!

[@nonisnest9718]

The wallpaper is gorgeous and everything looks so bright and beautiful!

[@lisaboardwine5633]

Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love

[@RinaMeyers]

The wallpaper looks fantastic!!!!! You could still have that over window shelf too :)

[@peterwhite9261]

Mary, I like the before better but only as a man floral feels more feminine to me. However, that being said, it isn't overpowering. It actually looks very cozy and warm. I love your bench cover. Neat idea. It is so helpful knowing how to sew. I remember when you made it. I am very happy for your success. All of your new items are great ideas. Happy Valentine's to you all. ❤

[@tinatipps5042]

I just cleaned my kitchen windows the other day… it’s crazy how that can change your space! ❤️so fresh

[@lindasegraves6207]

Mary I Love Love your new decorations in your dining room and your wallpaper. In the 70's our dining room had wallpaper close to yours but in light yellow florals. I had many compliments on my dining room.

[@elianaamorim2509]

Eu amo seus videos! Não perco nenhum... lamento por não ter tradução em português do Brasil!

[@jenniferraymond3913]

I too LOVE pink florals. It will look perfect.

[@karenclark6855]

Mary, that wallpaper is so pretty! It really does make a difference to your dining area-very nice

[@carolynmarie4008]

I love the softer look of your dining area with the little bit of floral wallpaper. We all need a little change up as the seasons change.
