Can you believe we’re already heading into July? This week is an extra special one as our friends, neighbors, and community members across North America gear up for some of the biggest celebrations of the summer.
Whether you are firing up the grill for Canada Day on July 1st 🇨🇦 or setting up the lawn chairs for the 4th of July 🇺🇸, my team and I want to wish you and your family a fantastic, safe, and joyful holiday week!
The steps to a beautiful dining room
Most people assume a beautiful dining room starts with an expensive dining table.
It doesn’t.

Over the past 25 years I’ve discovered there’s a sequence to decorating a dining room, and once you understand that sequence, decorating becomes dramatically easier. In this week’s one-day makeover, I’m walking you through the exact six-step formula I use to transform dining rooms again and again.
You know that feeling of standing in your dining room knowing something isn’t right but having no idea what to fix? The table is fine. The chairs are fine. You’ve got a cabinet against one wall and maybe a buffet against another, and the whole room still feels like a collection of furniture instead of a room. It’s not that you don’t have taste, you just need the right steps.
This week’s makeover was for Terreeia’s best friend Terry and his wife Marcia. When I walked in, they had cabinets everywhere, dishes from decades of life, and no plan. By the end of one day, the dining room was so transformed that when I showed someone the after photos yesterday, they thought it was AI.
It wasn’t. It was the same six-step formula I run every single time. Yes the image above is a sneak peek!!??

The best part? We kept the homeowners’ well-loved dining table—even though it was scratched, chipped and covered with family memories.
If you’ve ever looked at your dining room and felt like something was missing, this video will show you what comes next.
Watch the makeover below and see the six-step formula in action.
