Dining room/kitchen update.



Things of note:
-We have 3 chairs. The other three are in the 'chair graveyard.' If you have any chairs that you need "taken care of"- an afternoon with my son would be in order.
-I will be sanding and refinishing the table post haste.
-Also, I am planning to lay new tile flooring over Christmas break. If you would like to learn how to tile [lend a hand] clear your schedule... ;}
-I don't have tiebacks for the curtains yet, what you see there are rubber band decorator tiebacks...
-I realized that I centered the family portraits on the wall, not necessarily with the coffered ceiling - I'll have to address that, in my free time, uh-huh.


Otherwise, the list is remarkably shorter than it was only a week ago.
I am ready to sit back and enjoy it. I also need to paint my toenails.
My dad is my hero. He came today to hang the light for me. I love the chandelier!

Sidenote: The chandelier is the one I watched at Sam's all summer long.
It was a $125 Hunter chandelier. I am not a $125 chandelier buying person. I wanted that one though.
I finally went back to visit that chandelier and it had been marked down to $24.71.
That, my friends, is a bargain.
I love it!

That kitchen is HOT! Smokin' hot! Who cares if you can't cook if the kitchen looks like that! :) (I actually don't know from personal experience if you can cook well or not.) Really love the chandelier. Great bargain. I love it when I get a deal like that!

I emailed you, and now it works.

The screen kept freezing up.

You got a great shade of red. Not to bright and not to dark. It looks very sophisticated.

i can also see in one frame the color of the living room. i don't think it looks all that dark, but maybe it's hard to tell.

Great job, A! I have to say that red looks even better in person, for those who haven't seen it. I might be the sucker that volunteers to help you tile. Ours needs it too.
