It is Metamorphosis Monday on the prairie, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch!
This weekend I had two mini metamorphoses: one in the dining room and the other to the bathroom.
Before we begin, this post includes a little game called, "Where's Dollas"? (Dollas is the "Brangelina" name hybrid for my dogs Dolly and Dallas. Their names always seem to be a tongue twister... we either mistakenly call one Dollos or the other one Dally, haha... so when referring to both at once, it is Dollas.) The game is similar to "Where's Waldo?"... since my dogs like to follow me around everywhere and are always in my pictures. ;) How many times can you spot Dollas? ;)
Here we go.
Here we go.The Dining Room Metamorphosis:
The wall to the left is blank... and I wasn't quite sure what to put there. I would love a new hutch or china cabinet... but that is not in the budget right now.
I really dislike blank space in my house... so I decided to rearrange what I already have; I added an old door to the wall.
I wasn't done with it quite yet. ;) I needed to pretty it up a bit!
So I added a heart-shaped grapevine wreath with some dried sunflowers that I made (tied with rafia) and red gingham curtains to the window.
I also added a tea light tin star...
...and a set of old skeleton keys.
The hand-painted red heart was hanging outside of the chapel on our wedding day...
It holds sentimental value for us. :)
Exhibit A: Red heart on our wedding day:
Continuing on with the dining room door tour... ;)
You might recognize the heart plant stand and floral arrangement from last week's Met Monday.

The mini metamorphosis wine rack makeover:
You might recognize this wine rack from my "Old West" Tablescape... when it held rootbeer. :)
Click here to see the Old West Tablescape.Well, we were having a house full of guests this weekend (who were also sharing one bathroom)... so I decided that it would also make a great hand-towel and wash cloth holder!
I just rolled up some hand towels and wash cloths, tied them with jute twine and placed them in the wine rack.
Voila! Efficiency that is also aesthetically appealing: a win, win situation. ;)
Oh! Hello! Did you see me?
You did?? How many times?? ;)

the wine rack looks great in the bathroom with the towels!
Now Dear One, you have some marvelous makeovers but I couldn't keep my eyes off those precious little doll fuzzy faces! Your doggies are just adorable!
You are truly the most creative one! And I think Dollas agrees! ;)
Be a sweetie,

Love the towel holder. So creative! And if that door isn't the cutest, I don't know what is!
You added so much charm to your dining room - I can't believe it! And that towel holder is adorable! Great ideas! Linda
That door went from plain to adorable. It really dresses up the room.
You can be amaze what a little fabric can do.
Oh your "babies" are adorable!! Nice Met Monday post!
I LOVE THIS!!! Your door is precious and the wine rack looks so cute...and I love your bathroom! You've inspired me to look at my wine rack that's just been sitting in a corner in a whole new way! Thanks for sharing! :-) Laura
Oh, how cute and homey you made that room with that sweet door! Really brightens up the place. And then your bathroom! Oh, I'm loving that whole bathroom. That towel holder is precious, and what an idea that was to use it that way! I am inspired!

The wine rack turned towel display was a perfect solution. And I love the door in the dining room. I'm not sure about the gingham curtains, but that's because it is not my style. But it fits perfectly with your style.
that is one cute puppy! and i love the wine rack in the bathroom-so clever!
Now if that wine rack makeover isn't the most cutest thing!!! I wish I had seen this while garage sale hunting this weekend!! So clever!!
Hello Melissa - love your dining room additions! That door is absolutely fabulous. And I like the sweet story about your red heart. Oh, and the plant stand looks so cute in there!
Blessings,
Marie
