Summer Tour-Dining Room Reveal
Hi friends! If you are new to my blog, welcome! My family & I live and play on the coast of eastern Long Island. We bought a renovated cottage overlooking the bay 4+ years ago and have been making it home ever since. I thought this would be a perfect time to share all of the updates I have been working on for the past few months in my dining room. While I loved the space before, I was ready for a change.
If you are coming from The DIY Showoff’s summer tour, thank you for stopping by for a visit, wasn’t her backyard beautiful?! I am so thrilled Marty asked me to be a part of this amazing group of tours. There will be 30 in all this week, so if you are looking for some summer inspiration look no further.
I have been in love with navy walls for a while so I decided to take the plunge. I have to admit I was nervous, especially after I began rolling it on but, it’s just paint, right?! I am so glad I went for it.
This is the before from when we first moved in…I know, it was pretty, I just have this incredible urge to change things, ALL the time, can anyone relate? It was a really long winter & I needed a project so in late Feb I began to plan the makeover.
Take a look as my new modern rustic dining room with a coastal feel…
Another before from when we moved in.

I love those navy walls! They are gorgeous!
So pretty! I always love the serene feeling of all your gorgeous decor
i love it, jen! it feels more modern and feels more like you to me than it did before. gorgeous home, my friend!
Your dining room looks amazing – I’m crushing on those navy walls and the styling of the shelving is perfection!
Your dining room looks great both ways, though, the navy blue walls make it more vibrant, love that color! And those wingback chairs, I’m now drooling!
Oh wow, the navy walls are amazing. Your dining room is gorgeous,but of course I love your entire home. So pretty.
This new navy color is spectacular, everything you touch seems to turn into something magazine worthy! I check in here often for inspiration and styling ideas. Love your blog!
So pretty Jen 🙂 I love the beachy cottage vibe. Looks like a dream house! The blue is so striking in the dining room and I adore the sweet simplicity of the place settings. Happy summer! xo
Jen, Your home is beautiful and I am in love with the dining room chairs.

I LOVE your dining room and the color is fabulous!! I’m so glad you went for it!!
May I ask, did you make or purchase the handled tray on the dining table? I love it and have looked everywhere for one that is just like it. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Hi Susan, it is a DIY, just a piece of 12 x 24 cut with big handles:). I am hoping to do a tutorial on it, it was very easy though. hope that helps! Jen
I’d love for you to do a tutorial on it! I LOVE your style and your home. Thank you for such a nice response.

While I do like light colored and white rooms, my wife and I have always leaned more toward bold colors in our homes. I think the navy looks great! It brings fresh character to the room with a touch of drama.
Thank you Aaron! Have a great day!! Jen

On Saturday I went to the country living fair in rhinebeck ny and returned home with a champagne cowhide rug – knowing that it would need to be layered on a sisal – I figured I be all over the web searching for a sisal I liked – but, I clicked on ur blog and there it was – ur dining room rug – I ordered it that evening based on ur recommendation and received it 2 days later – it’s perfect – luv the look with the cowhide – thx so much for sharing
Absolutely beautiful!! Where did you get the long curtain rods in your dining room?
Jen, You have such a beautiful home! Love the dining room, it’s fantastic! Love the navy walls!
Really beautiful, Jen! I am crazy in love with those navy walls. It all looks amazing! 🙂
Hi Jen! Beautiful dining room! So you mind sharing where the light fixture is from? Thanks!
Beautiful makeover, Jen! The navy walls look amazing – and those tufted chairs – wow!
Wow, your dining room is spectacular! I love everything about it, starting with the fabulous navy walls. The combination of colours, wood, and natural elements is just perfect. I would eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in there every day!
Jen, I love the makeover! Your dining room walls are so unexpected and fabulous! Always a treat to see what you are up to!
Awe, thank you Christy!! Happy weekend! Jen
You know how sometimes you look through a home tour and it makes you want to redo your entire house? Yep, that’s how I feel right now. I am so in love with every last detail of your house! So glad I found you through the tours!
Jen- love love love your house and your style! It is absolutely beautiful! I must know!!!
Where did you buy (and what is the name of the rug), grey and white, in the family room?
I have been looking online for it, something, but can not find it or anything suitable!
! I am praying you can give me the pattern name and where you found it. Thanks in advance and thanks for the reminder that you take these things one step at a time, it is always evolving 🙂 Thanks in advance,
Jacqueline
Love your home. Please tell me where I can find the arrow and eat sign in your dining room. I love your front porch too. Where did you find the outside light fixture? Thanks for any info.
I just found you on Pinterest. I loved the soft coastal look of your dining room before but I just ADORE – LOVE LOVE LOVE! – the new navy walls and taupe/beige accents. I am so tempted to do the same in my breakfast nook off of the kitchen…I will send in photos if I do!!
That would be great, would love to see Lil! Have a great day! Jen
I love this dining room! Where did you get those dining chairs?
Thank you Sophia! I got them from Arhaus:). They are a great color, the gray has a warmth to it and the fabric is easy to clean:). Good luck! Jen
Hi, absolutely love your dining room reveal. I have the same navy on my walls with white but need to add drapes. Are your drapes taupe, brown and white? Really like the ones you have but believe they are discontinued.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Kim
Hi! I love your table, where did you get it!?
