Happy Monday. Hope you all had a nice weekend and Mother’s Day! Here on the East Coast, it finally felt like May- 75 degrees and sunny!! The warm weather inspired me to add a bit a life into a spot of our home that gets a lot of use but hasn’t gotten my full attention: our Kitchen Nook.
I’ve been toying with what to do with this space for a while but couldn’t decide what to do. Before we redid the walls, the eat-in space was clearly defined with the vertical molding on the wall. We hated the molding, but it did serve a purpose.
We smoothed the walls out to give the room a seamless look. However, as cleaner as the room looked after we renovated, we lost the separation that screamed: “You are now in our eat-in kitchen!!!”
My first attempt at creating definition was by adding a console table flush against the couch to “partition” the room.
This helped, but we were still missing a focal point behind the table.
So this weekend, I decided to dress up the wall. Here’s how it looks now!

I love it! I think it’s so sweet and keeps the space nice and airy while creating interest. And the best part…everything came from Target! It was super inexpensive but makes a big impact.
And now for some detail shots 🙂

LOVE it Tanisha!!! You absolutely achieved that definition that you were looking for and it looks fabulous! And, by the way, your wedding picture is gorgeous!!!
Thanks Kristi! We are so happy with the space 🙂 And it definitely gives us a place to display one of our favorite photos!
Looks great Tanisha! It helps define the space perfectly! And I think I need to head over to Target now 😉
Thanks Nicole!!
Target for the win!
Gotta love target!
Rugs can always help define a space. You could put a rug under your dining table. Nothing expensive and something easy to wash/vacuum. BTW your room makeover looks great!
Great idea Johanne! You are absolutely right– rugs are definitely an awesome solution to ground an area. Thanks for the tip!
You have a beautiful home, Tanisha! I love the changes you have made. Great work.
