The bar is open, if only the ice maker in the fridge still worked. I guess only "neat" drinks will be served until I go to Menard's for a new water line. The dining room is just about done. The walls are painted in a pretty dark gray that changes from green to blue tones as the light changes. The ceiling is a minty color that reads as white next to the gray walls. Notice the floors, which have been refinished way back in September, are finally uncovered and cleaned.
Until we get a larger dining table we are using our old kitchen table. We do not have enough furniture to fill the house. Notice the various artworks that are out and hung. Very happy to see old friends and some new pieces that were never hung before. We've got quite a collection.
Looking towards the front door. The ceiling at the upper right was where the water damage was, It looks good now. Behind the curtains is a niche that holds two bookcases full of our ceramics and dishes. Everything is unpacked and ready for entertaining. To the left is towards the kitchen, bathroom, and library.
We also finished painting the hallway and foyer on the first floor. Heather picked out a lemon lime color that blends real nice with the room colors. This is our favorite vantage spot for now. As long as we look forward the house looks like a home, complete. There are more completed rooms to shoot; office/clean studio, our bedroom, and nursery. Soon, I promise.
