I’ve been wanting some vintage bistro chairs for a while now and while you can find them relatively inexpensive, I’ve really been challenging myself lately to be super creative when it comes to this challenge and see just how cheap I can buy things! So….I searched the good ol’ Facebook marketplace for a couple weeks and saw these old bistro chairs come up for sale for $10 a pop! I was like OK! I can do that!

I have been wanting to move the table to this part of the room for the longest time because it just MAKES SENSE to use this window bench. And bonus it gives us a large open space here in the center of the dining room that for so long was crowded with this table and chairs. However, so many people have since asked…but what about the chandelier in the middle of the room?

The whole goal with this space is to simplify and declutter! Like I mentioned last week, we want this space to move from more farmhouse to mid-century modern with a vintage spin. And while I truly loved the look at design of what you saw in week 1, it truly wasn’t functional for our family

This is our first time participating in the One Room Challenge and we could not be more excited! We are featuring our dining room in this challenge and while it may seem “finished” to most of you, we are actually in the process of restyling our entire home and transitioning to a more simplified, mid-century modern aesthetic.
