how do you like me now...

419 dining room facelift

{new view towards back deck}

{new view towards living room}

{new view from kitchen}

This room didn't need too much work...

once we got rid of the doors and added a new, bigger patio door

the room really opened up.

Can't say that the light is something I would have ordinarily chosen...

but when you're already over due with a giant baby in your belly 

and family is coming to stay with you,

and you have to get the house in a functioning state...

it does the trick!

Oh babe, the lights not THAT bad!  and its even better when controlled by a dimmer (every light is better that way)


Green Alert; every light controlled by a dimmer is automatically more efficient by around 10%
hahaha.... seriously.


and we used low voc paint, and a lot of the materials were recycled too that we used so...  just wanted to say that if you can, try to make that a criteria for your reno's too


ok, thats enough from this dork.
