The Dining Room

We started our dining room a few weeks ago when we bought a new light fixture. It was a great deal from Lowes and pretty easy to install. The ceiling also got painted. We bought new hard wood flooring that will continue from the living room into the dining room. Then we decided to paint. I was glad the store had the same color we used in our living room. Here are the before, during and after pictures.

How it looked when we bought it. The floor was actually in beautiful condition. Notice the retro light fixture. I still have it if anyone is interested.


We added the table. You have to eat some where.


Out with the old.


Floor is out.


Walls are painted.

Floor is in

Furniture is in too

Now there is no awkward transition piece to a old fashioned parquet floor.
