Painting the Dining Room, April 13 - 15, 2001 |
|||
In April 2001 we decided to redo our dining room. Over a three-day weekend we got most of the work done. All we have left to do now is replace the baseboards, paint the trim (mostly the window frames), and get new shades for the windows. Here are the pictures of what we accomplished this weekend: |
