Well S#*)!^! I just wrote a blog post, tried to add a photo, and then the entire flippin' post was lost! WTF!!!!

Anyway, in the ongoing remodel project, the dining room is done!!! DONE!! It is adjacent to the kitchen, and both really need to be done at the same time, or at least, close together. It is so nice to see a beautiful floor, walls, and a table, all looking so inviting. Note to viewers, the blue striped curtains are only there for privacy. Those are the curtains I've had for years. Soon to be replaced by blinds, and..... well, I'm not sure. I'm thinking a cornice or some sort of window treatment at the top. I need to ruminate on that for awhile.






The Mister said we need to move the TV/entertainment center so he can see it from the dining room table. Not happenin'!! I love how this turned out! The curtains need to change, that is the next step.

Kitchen project is next! All the plumbing, wiring, drywall, painting, tiling, etc. is finished. Cabinets, counter tops, and the dishwasher are next. What am I going to do with a dishwasher??? Never had one! How difficult is it to wash dishes for two people? Well, the dishwasher will increase the value of the house when we are ready to sell. Which, I hope is soon!

The Mister's work is awesome! I tried to help him by painting. He said, I've seen you paint. So now, HE does all the painting. And he does a fantastic job!! It is a good thing I married him because I could not afford to pay him for the work he does!
