It is FINISHED!!!

Alright friends... here are the pictures I'VE been waiting for. (And maybe you have too...) My dining room is finished. Paint, chair rail, everything. It is being dined in... lived in... and we LOVE IT.

Doesn't it look a bit like a magazine?? (minus the EMPTY table, booster seat and lack of wall art?)

The candles will change (I stole them from another room) and wall art will go up.


Clearly we will clean out (and off) the china cabinet... and replace the light bulb.


And HERE is the original picture that inspired me.

Ok...Ok... here's some things that still need done to really "finish" the room. Seat cushions, wall art, accent pieces for buffet and table, and eventually... the floor will get refinished and stained to have those 12x12 squares. BUT, all that said and well, still undone, we are so happy with the room as it stands now.

Thanks for sharing in the day to day of this transition.
It's been fun.
