After much work and painting!!!! (arms are still sore) The dinning room is just about done!!Here are the pictures as we worked on it.

 

No fingers were harmed in this project!

Now all it needs is a new rug ,and some Antique chairs to go with the table! I love it!

Some cookies and milk for my carpenter!  I defy you to find a carpenter who works for cookies and milk!!

 

The Dinning Room Transformation & A Recipe!

 

 

The dinning room re-do part one!

First  some before pictures…

 

I saw this idea in the Lowes idea book,and I just thought it would be a great thing to do in our dinning room !http://http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/projects/Get_Organized_0709.aspx

We have little or no storage in the house. We have a full basement but ,it is not a good place to put things that you want to get to again.

So here are the the during pictures…

Steve is a great contractor! My wish is his command!! (snicker)

These lovely shelves will hold some of my favorite books, also a good place for plants.

 

It looks good set up doesn’t it?

If you think  they looked good then ,lets see how they look painted!!

See I do help with the projects, this is proof!

It’s hard work but somebody has to do it!

Okay this has nothing to do with the project, but isn’t Sammy cute sleeping in the dirty clothes??? He has a bed ,but doesn't like it! Silly kitty!

 

These look great don’t they? Think of all the things I can hide away!         But….

We aren't done yet! Next , we will add bead board and a plate rack and red paint!!! Stay tuned …. next month for the finished room just in time for Thanksgiving!

Check out our new china hutch!! It was a steal ! And already re-finished! Steve was really glad about that!

Can you guess it’s secret?

Is that not the neatest thing you have ever seen?
