The dining room's elegant look is due in great part to the stunning stenciled wallpaper on the far wall. While it looks high-end, Heather created this wallpaper herself for less than $15. She had fallen in love with all of the wallpaper that's become so popular in homes over the past few years, but was shocked at how much some of it cost. Inspired by the posts she'd seen in blogs about how to stencil walls, she decided to do the same thing in her home. For a full DIY, check out her post here.

This is my own dining room. I wanted to use wallpaper to create a focal wall, but when I realized the cost of custom paper, my plans quickly changed. I actually created a homemade stencil to create this Moorish-style tile pattern on my wall and used a paint pen to trace the pattern. Four of my favorite pictures from a botanical book were framed for pretty and inexpensive art.See more of this home
LOVE this. I like the soft, muted walls with added dimension in the stenciling. It is a simple space, but the chandelier gives it a touch of classiness.
