Hacienda Hideaway Dining Room Reveal
A relaxed and inviting Mediterranean style dining room makeover. Complete with budget-friendly sources and DIY projects.
Another room is complete at the Hacienda! This space has slowly come together over the last 2+ years, and has been our easiest makeover yet. This is how the space looked before:
The dining area is the first room you enter inside the home. Originally, this was a bigger open area—you can see the double front doors below with a window on each side:
But we added a wall down the middle to create a fourth bedroom:
Newflooring and DIY ceiling beams soon followed…
Then trim and paint, rustic wood front doors, a DIY arch mirror and rustic console table. And that brings us to today!
It is a rare occurrence when a room redesign comes together without a hitch. This one was smooth sailing from start to finish.
I had a vision in mind—warm, earthy and relaxed Mediterranean—and all of the pieces fell in place harmoniously.
The new bedroom wall created an opportunity for a foyer where there once was none. We kept it unfussy with a large mirror and rustic console table.
I spent months researching the well suited dining table to comfortable seat 10 guests (up to 12 if needed), and debated on building our own or using two tables. Fortunately, I came across an affordable solid oak table that saved us time and money.
The chairs were a Target find I have had my eye on for a long time, and snagged them as soon as they came back in stock. They are durable and easy to clean which makes them ideal for a vacation rental. I also love how the rich chocolate leather ties into the dark ceiling beams, and the oak frame just so happens to be a well suited match to the table.
The rug was another match made in heaven for this space. It is the Loloi Billie Tobacco/Rust (8'6 x 11'6'). The earthy colors and subtle vintage design make it such a versatile rug—this is one of my favorites from Loloi!
I sourced these fun handmade seagrass pendantson Etsy (now available only on Amazon). They are a great price for the size, and help to infuse the laid-back, vacation ambiance throughout the home.
The window appears larger and more polished thanks to my favorite custom drapes (these are the same forest green linen I used in the guest bedroom) and their new custom bamboo cordless shades.
If only every project could go this smoothly! Hey, I'll take the wins wherever I can.

Another room reveal down—three more to go! With that said, Lucas and I need to focus on finishing up some of these projects so there will not be a blog post next week, but you can follow along for updates over on my Instagram. I'll be back with more as soon as I can!
