No Space for a Dining Room? Hang It Up!!

We have a little round beach house on the South Coast of South Africa. It's only 60 square meters (or 645 square feet) and finding space is always a problem. One of the things we definitely didn't have space for was a dining room. So we hung it up.

The "Don't Mind the Mess" table was made using a piece of pine, measuring 55 cm x 45 cm, which we sealed with a white primer, added the decal and covered with three layers of Annie Sloan Chateau Grey. Once the paint was dry, we simply removed the decal and gave the table a few coats of clear wax to protect. The table is attached to the wall using a T-hinge and rawl bolts. My ever careful hubby wanted to make sure we could dance on this table, lol.

We found the wooden fold up chairs on sale at Mr P Home and painted them a vibrant lime green and hung them using white square cup hooks.

Now we have a dining room that's a functional, space saving work of art when it's not in use.

It looks so much better than a big blank wall.

And when we're ready to eat, we simply take down the chairs, flip up the table and dine in our own little bistro cafe.
