DIY Spotlight: Carries Halloween Spooktacular Dinning Room

Hey peeps! Welcome to the part 2 in the Carrie Pectol Leavitt spot light. This mission is 2 fold. One we will be introduced to her creepy dining room; and second, we will see how said dining room came to be. Let me begin by saying that everything that Carrie touched turns to gold. She could pin a log of poo to her Pinterest board and get a thousand repins. Not to mention, people around the globe would be engaging in fecal crafting. Isn't it interesting how one person can influence our perception of what is right and what is wrong?!? Well, ADHD moment; that is another discussion for another day!







Carrie's dining room did a bit of experimenting in it's day. Get your minds out of the gutter... We all ran the gamut of identities. My friends like to remind me of my fat emo stage... They said I had hair like Rosie O'Donnell! Can you believe that?! Crazy talk! We digress. Carrie's dining room began it's life as a mild-mannered carport. Upon entering puberty so-to-speak, a delightful enclosed garage emerged. The garage sacrificed of it's self to make room for a small mudroom. Carrie got a bee in her bonnet, and a dining room was born.

The furnishings are a mixture of new and refinished finds. The table is new, while the upholstered chairs were purchased at a consignment shop. The wood chairs, once a dated honey oak, received new life with a couple coats of cream paint. The details were brought to life using a little patina. The bench was once a foot board, now converted. The built in cabinetry was purchased unfinished from Habitat for Humanity's, ReStore.


Carrie's new step-down dining room transitions seamlessly into her beautiful kitchen. But you'll have to hold your breath for that one... Her kitchen spot light is still down the road. In addition to this stunning look at dining in style, please re-join us next month for a glimpse at the holiday décor slathered around the rest of her house! Thanks a brazillion Carrie Pectol Leavitt!
