Dining Room

Well we finally finished our dining room! It was a very long process of tearing off wallpaper and sanding walls before we could finally paint and finish our room...

Here's what it looked like BEFORE:

(So sad those curtains had to go)




And then we scraped and sanded...


Then we steamed...


Then peeled...


Then sprayed and peeled off the backing...


Then scored the SECOND layer of wallpaper...



And then we basically repeated the process again with the second layer yucky wallpaper.
Then we spackled and sanded the sections where the drywall was torn.
And THEN we were FINALLY ready to paint...


And put up crown molding...


And install a new chandelier...


And install wood blinds...

And FINALLY it's done!

Just in time to put up our Christmas tree!
(pictures coming soon)

first of all, cute background! I usually read your blog on my google reader, so I don't usually see it! Second, I am amazed by the transformation of your dining room. Wow! I couldn't believe the "before" pics. I really enjoyed seeing it in person this weekend. Your home is beautiful. :)
