I am oh so pleased to finally reveal my fall One Room Challenge space – our Colourful & Eclectic Dining Room. If you’re not familiar with the One Room Challenge you can catch all the details // here //. Don’t forget that you can view all the official room reveals // here // and the linking participants on Thursday. Our dining room has been a tricky space (what space in this PMQ hasn’t been tricky?!) but I’m glad that it finally matches the rest of the main floor. It no longer looks like it’s on a different colour palette, and the style matches the rest of the house.
Catch-up on // week 1 // week 2 // week 3 // week 4 // week 5 // week 6
*Behr Paint, Rugs USA, Wayfair & Parima Studios sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.
Before I go any further I’d like to take a minute to thank all my sponsors without whom this challenge wouldn’t have been possible.

I know you’re not in it for what I’ve got to say, so let’s get to the photos! And remember, the room is hella small, so if you’re thinking “why can’t she pull back and show us more?” it’s because I literally can’t pull back any further.
In this space I’ve got all my beautiful MCM furniture on display and love every bit of it. I’ve thrifted and hunted down these pieces with care, and with a gold coat of oil they’re kinda perfect.
I know they’d look better in a big space where they can breath, but fow now I’ll take their proximity and hope I don’t break anything.
I definitely completed my tassels and pom poms decanter tags a day or two ago JUST so that they would be in the reveal post. You can catch all the details for that // here //
You can catch the full tutorial for how I painted the chairs in my week 5 post // here //. It’s not that complicated, and the results are great so far.
The best part about the setup in the dining room is that I’ve decided to hang only about half of the art. See, I like to change things up. So, I could love the arrangement now, but in like 7 months I’ll want to move it around. To avoid having lots of holes in the wall, I’ve decided to lean a good chunk of my prints.
I still can’t get over the rug in this space. It’s the perfect counterweight to all the blue and green (even though it has tons of blue). The colours are warmer and cut the cool tones of the wall. I dig it! If you want to read all about rugs, including how I make sure they are coordinate throughout the house – check out my week 6 post // here //

looks great, ariel! i love that new sideboard, of course, and i really love the new wall color as it allows the bolder colors to pop more!
It sure does! The vibrant orange was fun, but it didn’t let all my accents really shine like this blue does.
UMMmmmmm Amazing! I love the furniture and all the color!
thanks boo <3
It looks great! I love how the blue looks with the teak. And it looks fantastic with the living room.
same! They keep each other in check, this shade of blue has been a revelation!
It looks so beautiful! I love the view of the two rooms together. So colorful and great!
me too! I’m not afraid to show both at the same time now hahaha
It looks great Ariel!! I just love all the color and those little tassels!! Your rug is gorgeous and those painted chairs!! Great reveal!!!
Thanks Suzanne! I am so glad you were along for the ride, and always with such a nice comment!
So inviting! Love The Grand Budapest Hotel Poster – perfect!
me too! That poster almost didn’t make it back into the space, but it wouldn’t be my dining room without it.

Congrats Ariel on completing another gorgeous space for the orc! Love your color choices and you did a super job styling everything! xo, Tee
Ariel! You’re a colour wizard! I don’t know how you do it! It all looks stunning. The tassels were a good last minute addition, lol. And your rugs are always on point. Well done my friend!
Those MCM pieces are all amazing! And all the bright colors in the space makes me so happy…especially the fabulous rug! You did a great job on this space!
Loving all the color in this room! The area is gorgeous! Amazing makeover!
Your art work is so wonderful and fits this room perfectly with that wall colour! Excellent job, congratulations on another orc under your belt! 🙂
This is the kind of room that happiness is made of! I love all your colorful details! Looks amazing!
I absolutely love how this turned out!! I need to learn your color ways. I love the brights happening in this space. amazing job!
I love it!! It is so bright and cheery!! The chair turned out great and that rug is absolutely gorgeous, it’s probably my favorite thing in the room to be honest, but I love it all so it is hard to choose 🙂
What a charming, colorful space! I Love how it all came together.
The colors!!!! Love the bold eclectic mix and your rug is stunning!!! This room blends so seamlessly into your living space now.
Love the Mid-Century Modern, I can never get enough of it! Looks wonderful, and just in time for the holidays.
such a bright and colorful dining room with lots of treasured items for your family to enjoy for years to come! Love the vintage vibe and especially with your art collection! that pop of green on the chairs against the blue wall is so effective and think I may have the same striped marble board as well!
congrats on yet another fab makeover!
What a fabulous room! You are brilliant with colors. I adore the wall color and those lamps. Just so beautiful together! great job!
Stunning! Colorful and stunning and I adore it! I would have never thought of the color choices that you used but it works beautifully. What a happy space!
Wow Ariel, it’s so colourful and fun and perfectly you! love the little detail of the pom poms and tassels at the bar area. So fun! Great job.
wow those painted chairs turned out great! Love the details on the liquor bottles!!
What a fun and whimsical space! You hit the perfect combo of fun without being too much-a winning combo! Congrats on making it through the one room challenge…it turned out amazing!
Bravo! I love the fresh take on mid century modern. What an amazing transformation. This has been such an inspiring round of the ORC. I really appreciated the extra week.
May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I love your bright and happy style! Those pom pom tassels are adorable and that light above your table is to die for! Gahhhh! So pretty against the happy wall colour. Thanks for inspiring!
I am just loving your style. It is so FUN and you have a knack for bringing random things together and making them look like they belong. Such a great transformation; congratulations on finishing!
Best,
Kelly
thanks Kelly! Curated and eclectic is how I like to think of my spaces 😉
Another knock-out room, Ariel!!! I love your attention to detail. That sideboard was a great find – I love the matching wood grain pattern on either side. Beautiful piece. This room must flow really nicely from your bedroom! Each room is unique but they have that cohesive look together.
thank you Lesley! That sideboard and this table were the finds of the century! I got everything at such a good price that I knew it waranted a fresh reveal 😉 I really do feel like everything flows together nicely now. Thank you!
Fantastics! I love how colorful and bold this room is. Nice job!
thanks Jillian!
This dining room is SO good! I love your use of color! It is fun and vibrant, but still balanced and so well done!
Thank you Kristen! You hit the nail on the head in describing my style <3
Those COLORS!!! Just stunning and so bright and cheerful. I love the rug and all the art as well. Fabulous room 🙂
thank you Michaela! I am alllll about the colours, I hope you’ll take a minute to hop around and see some of the other colourful spaces I’ve done.
Great job on the space! I love all of the fun colors, and the tassels on the decanters are so fun!
Thanks Nicki! I’m glad you were able to stop by each week too!
this is amazing! I love all the textures and color variances – a perfect compliment to the rug and the rest of your beautiful home.
Congrats on a stunning reveal – honored to have done the ORC with you!
Thank you so much Jen. This house sure feels like it has come full circle since moving in, and I’m glad everything is on the same page now.
I am also honoured! It was such a great group this season.
Both spaces flow so nicely together now – and I like how your brought in the striped table from outside (but now i NEED that cutting board – grr!). I’m thinking of getting a bold rug like yours too, and liked learning about how to make them work throughout the house. Another great makeover down!
They sure do! I had positioned this makeover so that everything would finally flow, and I’m glad I did!
I hope you do take the plunge on a bold rug, they totally set the tone for the rest of the space and lots of fun to work with.
Love the decor, so bright, beatiful, cheerful!! Just love it a lot, thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Isadora! I take great pride in creating colourful spaces that pop, but that also flow with the rest of the house beautifully.
So pretty and colorful! Just the way I like it. You did an awesome job Ariel.
Thanks Delia!
Be still my color-lovin’ heart! Everything just pops. The Grand Budapest Hotel poster is perfect along with all the art. Great job!!!
Let’s be blogging friends k?! our shared love of colour will surely unite us
Beautiful room Ariel! I love the art pieces and that rug is amazing!
Same! I really enjoyed collecting and styling everything in this room, it all feels so coherent.
I love that sideboard and i’m impressed with how well the painted upholstery came out, The pop of green is fabulous. Well done!
me too! I think the saving grace here is that it won’t be our every day furniture. At least it will be easy to touch-up!
So very pretty and colorful, Ariel. Beautiful art pieces and rug.
Thank you Delia! I pride myself on the finishing touches like this
Love the funky ceiling fixture!
me too! It’s been sitting in a box in my basement for the longest time. I was glad to finally get it into the dining room
Oh its so pretty! I love all of the color you used!!!
thank you!
Mixing colors can be tough but you nailed it flawlessly with your room! Love it! Congratulations and cheers to us for another room done!
Thank you so much Vel! I like to think I’m a bit of a colour wizard!
SO much GREAT color in this space, and that chandelier is on my must-have list. job well done!
I know I’ve said it before, but I LOVE the way you use color in your home. It’s all so fun and cohesive!
I love what you’ve done with this space, Ariel! You always bring the perfect combination of color, and accessories together!
Thanks Iris! <3
I love this room! Would you mind sharing the source of the Grand Budapest print? I didn’t see it in the source list.
hey there! I snagged it here: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/259095542
Thanks, Ariel, but I couldn’t get the link to work.
I’ve tried looking and I don’t think the guy is still selling them. If you look on Etsy though, there are TONS of options 🙂
