Once upon a time ago (a long LONG time ago), we decided to remodel the kitchen...to accommodate the dishwasher (but that's another story). Not hurt its feelings, we also decided to improve the dining room. This past week (while we were cruising in Alaska - photos and stories to follow), the hardwood floor (new to the dining room) was refinished. It turned out beautiful! And looking back at the "before" photos of the dining room reminded me just how much it's changed in the past (nearly) three months!
BEFORE (with carpeting and a picture window)
DEMOLITION (wall and butler's pantry being removed)
RECONSTRUCTION:
In addition to removing the wall between the dining room and the kitchen, the picture window was changed to double french doors to allow for another pathway to the "outdoor kitchen" area (landscaping will most likely take place NEXT year!)
NEARLY FINISHED: The floor is GORGEOUS! The wainscoting (the white part of the wall) needs to be replaced and painted, the trim around the door added and the chandelier replaced but this room is getting pretty darn close to completion!
The hardwood throughout the kitchen,
foyer, and powder room were all refinished (beautifully - so prepare to remove your shoes...at least for awhile!)
