One more piece to the puzzle, Our Dining Room Is Finished!!

YES Jeff & I were hard at work the last two days!! He had two days off in a row & THIS is what our dining room looked like. The carpet was badly stained, the walls desperately needed some paint & it was the dumping grounds for flattened down boxes, several misc. boxes that had heavens knows WHAT inside, and boxes that were supposed to go to goodwill. Plus my desk corner stunk like cat pee & I really wasn't happy with how my office stuff was organized on all those track shelves. SOOOOOO - We've been hard at work the last two days going through boxes, taking things to the goodwill & cardboard recycling center, and FINALLY ripping up all that old carpet. Jeff found me a FREE desk that they were getting rid of at LTI that worked wonderfully for my needs! I painted the whole room in an entire afternoon, and made a trip to the lighting store in Sunnyside (I found a great deal on a floor model. It really was a PAIN to install that chandelier, but so very worth it!). Finally, after so much heartache, frustration, and backbreaking labor, this afternoon we finished! To celebrate, we put a turkey in the oven, made some pumpkin pie, and had some friends over for our very first sit-down dinner in our new/old house! It really was so nice to feel like one more big piece of the puzzle was put into place, and having a dining room all set up really made a huge difference on how homey our house feels! Now maybe I can take a break & relax tomorrow?

Your dining room looks amazing now. That must be such a relief to be done. Be sure to get a few moments to rest up a bit before your baby decides to arrive! (Even though I'm sure no position is comfortable right now)

Looks great! Gotta love hardwood floors hiding under old dirty carpet.
