Before and Afters- the Dining Room

Ok, another before and after for your viewing pleasure. Here is the room that in theory should be a the dining room. When we saw the house it was being used as the mother's sitting room or "formal living room" is you will.


When we moved in we turned this room in our study/ dumping room- so lovely- just keeping it real folks.


BUT now that my office is all set up that room (with a door that closes) has become the office/ dumping room. And it was time to tackle the dining room. We needed to get the dining room painted before they refinished the wood floors over April vacation. [This proved brilliant since I had an unfortunate, yet rather comical near fall off a ladder which resulted in primer being thrown all over the room].

Those of you with a keen eye will notice we removed the chair rail. This is because there is a good chance that this room will eventually become where I take pictures indoors in poor weather and the chair rail can cut the background in an unflattering way.

So take a moment and enjoy the view- ahhhh. Starting next week we are going to be relocating the playroom and its contents into this room in order to get that room ready for painting and re-flooring. Yes, that's right- we are not done yet!
