Dining Room Progress

Two weeks after moving in, we finally have one room in the house that is cleared of boxes and is starting to come together; and of all places, it's the formal dining room!  I've had so much fun in such a short amount of time making this house our own.

Here is the dining room right after we taped it off to paint. The top part was an off white, and the bottom part was a hunter green...



Next, we put samples on the wall. Which to choose?  We went with the bottom center...



Then, painted the top half...




Decided to paint the bottom white to resemble wainscoting.  It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do!



Then we added a rug that we are borrowing from a friend- they had an extra they weren't using and it works perfect for this room...



After everything came in, we assembled the table and chairs.  Well, mostly Taylor assembled the table and chairs...



Although you could say it was a family effort...



Just a little touch of green on the table and it's really coming along in here...



I promise to do better with before and after pics in the future. The difference is a lot more dramatic when the before and after are taken from the same angle and the same time of day. You might also notice that the sixth chair is missing. We thank Ikea for that. Turns out what is in the bin is not always what is supposed to be in the bin! We expect to have that last chair by October.

Now we just need dinner guests:)
