Dining Room: More Updates!

I have a few updated pics from the dining room since the lighting went in and the side chairs arrived.
Before:

 Now:
We still need some pieces for the back wall (the wreath was there for a shower that we hosted this weekend). Also I need to learn how to not take crooked pictures! The room is not leaning...it's just me!

 Here is a pic with the light off so you can see the cool Edison bulbs! They add a little personality to the space. Anything is better than the light/fan monstrosity that was there before!

Another Before:

 Now:
The view into the kitchen is very different! More on that in the next post. The fabric chairs also add a little warmth to the space and the nailhead trim mirrors the trim on the living room chairs.

 

Dining Room: New Table!

Here is where we left off with the dining room:

It has since received a new table! The china cabinet went back in as well. Chairs to come. Obviously the large door isnt' staying. It will also get a cool new light fixture!

Dining/Living Room: Refinished Hardwoods!

Here is a quick reminder of the "before"

 And currently:

The baseboards need to be installed and the door needs to be painted, but things are moving along!

Here is the dining room before:

A new light fixture will help the dining room look more complete...and furniture of course!

Dining Room and Kitchen: Lighting Fixtures!

This is actually an outdoor light but is going to go in the kitchen! It will look great with what we have planned for the ceiling in there.

 Below is the light for the dining room as well as the pendant to go over the sink in the kitchen. These will look great with the cottage theme!

Dining Room/Living Room: Paint!

Here is a refresher of the dining room before...

 Below is the dining room after paint and new molding(taken with a cell phone but you get the idea)!

 Here is another refresher for the living room...

It still needs some molding but it's looking much better!

The Dining/Living Room: Before

The dining and living rooms are off the kitchen. The dining room floor is 3 layers of laminate, the bottom layer glued to what we think is hardwoods (ugh). The living room connects to it and the floor is 70's carpet covering pretty oak hardwoods. The hope is to refinish both of these to make them seemless. Both rooms are getting fresh paint and crown molding.

 Looking into the kitchen.

I had no idea how hard it was to take pictures with this paneling!

 This is the only piece of furniture staying in the room. It's a couch that my grandmother had re-upholstered several times throughout the years and is in great shape!

 Believe it or not, there is a beautiful lake view somewhere out there.
