Before and After: Dining Room Nook

Ok, I can't stand it!  I have to show you another peak at my friend Glen's dining room transformation.  I am so excited that I jumped up and down today when I completed touching up the stripes.

Here's where we started with this nook...

We had Glen's painter do below the chair rail in a satin finish black (BM Black) for a little sheen, and the back wall of the nook in an eggshell finish white (BM something -- can't remember).  The remaining walls above the chair rail have remained a light taupe.

You'll recall I painted the stripes...

And this is how it looks to-date...

I'm having so much fun with this makeover I would say that I am giddy.  Yes, I am 46 and I am giddy.  And, there's more to come in January -- this nook isn't done.

If you are new to my blog, you can read about the start of this project here, then progress here and here.

I'm linked up to French Country Cottage today -- check out all the gorgeous inspiration from other blogs.


Talk to you soon,
Carol
