Erin Gates’ Dining Room Transformation
This dining room underwent the most striking change in the entire home—without altering a single structural element. The journey began by removing outdated drapes and covering the deep red walls with primer, setting the stage for a clean slate.
Next, attention turned to the ceiling and trim. The trim, once coated in yellowed alkyd oil paint, was painstakingly sanded, primed, and refreshed with two coats of modern hybrid oil paint, restoring its crisp, bright finish.
With the groundwork complete, Erin introduced her chosen wallpaper, bringing texture and sophistication to the space. Her signature styling touches followed—layered lighting, curated furnishings, and elegant accents.
The result? A stunning room that seamlessly blends classic charm with a fresh, contemporary feel. Proof that with thoughtful updates and expert ex*****on, even the most tired space can be reborn.
