Living Room/ Dining Room Reveal

I am happy to say that we are almost running out of projects. Almost. My in-laws visited last weekend and got straight to work. My mother-in-law and father made a phenomenal crown molding team, while my father-in-law got to work on the backyard. My job was very important, I painted the molding before the work crew arrived and I fed everyone. There's a lot involved with crown molding.  I tried to pay attention, but I still don't think I could explain it to you. Something about coping. I hope K took notes. I can tell you that the weekend was full of crazy phrases from my dad, like "Glue and paint make it what it ain't."

We now have a beautiful living room/dining room that looks and feels finished.

Thanks for helping, everyone! Come back any time.

Dining Room Preview

See, I told you things were coming together. While the men were working on the kitchen, my mom and I cleaned and organized. I am really excited that we were able to put down this new Dash and Albert rug. Isn't it brootiful?

You can also see a bit of our newly painted blue banister. The color is called Dutch Licorice and we used it in a few spots around the house. Makeoverhill is a very colorful place, but I think it all works.

The only color I'm really worried about it the white in the carpet. I'm afraid it will get dirty very quickly. We might have to instate a no shoe rule.
