This Dining Room Was Hiding More Than One Secret/Budget Room Makeover

Welcome to Episode 2 of my Ranch Reno Whole House Makeover Series! In this video, I’m transforming Spencer and Madison’s dining room on a budget using paint, thrifted finds, affordable decor, and a few DIY updates.

This dining room had great potential, but it needed some personality and warmth. I’ll be updating the paneled walls, built-in cabinet, lighting, curtains, wall art, and decor to create a cozy, collected look inspired by English country style. Along the way, I’ll share decorating tips, budget-friendly ideas, and simple ways to make a room feel more custom without spending a fortune.

If you love home decorating, room makeovers, thrift store finds, DIY projects, and affordable decorating ideas, I think you’ll find plenty of inspiration in this makeover.

Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes as I continue transforming this entire ranch home room by room!

  1. I am loving watching you renovate your son's new home!! Everything is so beautiful!!! I love your vintage style section intro and music you selected! I like the bench against the cabinet in your "after the after" 🙂

  2. Love this so much. Everything just melds together perfectly. Plus Dutch doors, oh my gosh, please keep. I’ve said once and I’ll say it again, Sherry, you are an artist 😊

  3. I just really love that you are revealing the joy of used items!!! Most of the new stuff is just cheap junk with a high price. I love the creativity of seeing the potential change of used items and the originality of homes that do this. Great transformation!!

  4. I’ve loved the series on both your sons new homes makeovers! I love how you make the rooms come together. My local thrift stores don’t hold a candle to what you seem to have available.

  5. That mural is absolutely gorgeous, what an amazing find. Im so glad you were able to save it. The room is beautiful Sherri, you did a beautiful job as always ❤

  6. That mural was such a lucky find🤗. The room is beautiful and I really like the table turned the short way with the bench. Great job 👏🏼

  7. Dear Sherry, I just love how everything you touch magically comes together. You are very talented, and I admire that. Your Virtual Neighbor, Liz

  8. You are so creative and so talented! What a fabulous surprise the mural was–so glad you kept it. The bench is great, and of course they can always swap it out. One other thing: I think some rusty red accessories to tie in with the mural and add some pops of color would be great. 'Im not there, so I'm not sure, but maybe that would be nice.

  9. Ms. Sherry, I love to watch you work! This was a beautiful makeover. I honesty have learned so much from you about color and decorating! ❤ You're my favorite designer. ❤

  10. Absolutely love the bench, not so much the mural. In its day it was probably a beautiful focal point, but if the homeowners like it, that’s great! Always love watching your hard work and diligence ❤

  11. WOW! Nicely done. The mural was a fabulous find. I like the bench at the dining table it adds more interest and I feel it sets off the built in buffet.

  12. That wallpaper mural is incredible and easily became the star of the show. However, you made it come to life with the paint and decor you added. The table is perfect for the room and I prefer the paralell orientation of the table and the bench. But, the biggest treasure in the room is you for sharing your talents. I'd also like to mention that you've really stepped up the editing game as well. Great video. ❤

  13. OK I'm freaking out about that mural that was discovered, that's absolutely amazing.

    LOVING these makeover videos Sherry. You have the golden touch for sure!!! KEEP the bench.

  14. I love it please come to my house so we can give my home a refresh I live near atlantic city we can go-to the casino and out to eat

  15. This, this makeover is stunning. That mural and the bench works really great with the table! I love that you allowed the mural to remain the star of the room because it absolutely is!!

  16. I like the table and chairs and long ways. It just makes the room look bigger to me. Wow! To discover that mural was a beautiful surprise. As always you did a great job and it looks terrific.❤❤❤

  17. Lovely!! That mural was gorgeous. I'm glad it was intact. The dining set was pretty as well. I like the chairs around it, but is there room for the bench in there as well? Some throw pillows on it and it would be nice for extra seating for family gatherings. It's a beautiful room. Nicely done, Sherry. 😊

  18. The room is perfect!
    It looks so inviting and comfortable, because your decorating works with the mural.
    (I always wanted a Dutch door, so I hope your kids are as jazzed by that as i would be. Lol.😁)
    Thanks for another Monday lift! ❤️

  19. That mural!!! What a lovely makeover. Simply beautiful. I loved the table with the bench. I think it really made the table pop.

  20. Next time you have to remove wall paper try PineSol. I used it to remove the wall paper in my guest room and it just slid off the wall.
