attempting a $0 DINING ROOM makeover | part 1 (IKEA hacks + thrift finds)

I've been chipping away at this project for over a year and I am SO excited to finally share part 1 of our dining area transformation.

I’m attempting a low-spend glow-up using IKEA hacks, thrift store finds, and what I already have at home. The goal: give our dining room a fresh, cosy, and functional vibe without blowing the budget.
