Dining room, almost done!

Well, except for a few small decorative details, I guess you could call it done. Our table and chairs came in this week so we cleared out all the building materials that had been shoved in there, went and got the table, I picked up some pretty stuff to put on the table.

Here are some of its stages:

Beginning




Demolition



..and here it is..the dining room! Standing in kitchen........(ignore blue bottles on hutch..undecided about where they are going)




New glass top table ... fingerprints obviously don't bother us LOL This is a small space with some big furniture in it so we thought it would be smart to have a glass top table so it sort of disappears a little and doesn't overwhelm the space. We think it works!






Pretttty!




Thanks to Ross and a Pier 1 Sale...


This is Charles' 'bar' that sits behind the table. He bought 2 wine cabinets, cut the tops and joined them together to make 1 bar area. He is working on the door that is missing here (switching the hinges) and he is putting a granite top on it. He will put his mixer tools on top and this will be his serving area. "Hey...bartender! How about a Capt. Morgans' and Coke?" LOL He has no excuse NOT to serve me now! lol!! It's a bit fuzzy, I don't have time to go take a better pic..



What do you think? We ate on it for the first time last night and it was SO NICE not to have to STAND for dinner anymore.

The best part about all of this is how cheap the table/chairs ended up being. We got a quote from a local furniture store here, then went home w/ the measurements. We thought her price was pretty good. Then I went back in and asked the lady-owner to go ahead and order it and when she wrote it up, it was around $75 less than she originally quoted. It looks like she gave a 'military discount' b/c of Charles, but it also looks like she DOUBLED the %! How nice! I love me a great discount!

Ok so today is 'bathroom' day. Off to paint!
