There's some dining room renovations going on at the Smith house this week. Maybe "renovate" is a strong word. Whatever it is, it's a bit of a mess right now but should be done in a few days. Nothing too crazy, we're not knocking down any walls or anything...just wiring for a couple of sconces and some recessed paneling around the bottom and over to the stairs. I have always loved recessed paneling/wainscoting/board and batten (still not sure I know the difference between each of those) and I can't wait to see it all done!
Here are the "in progress" pictures:
It probably would have helped to move the table to get a better picture but it's there as a boundary for Mr Blake and I was too lazy to move it...
Randy had an idea to use the tops to Pyrex storage bowls to mark the future sconces...fancy huh?
When we were building our last house, we walked in one day to find this carved into the insulation. We still laugh that underneath those painted walls and home decor is the word "Mexico" carved into our beloved home. So naturally, Randy had to make his mark on our new home before the paneling gets added:
I hope to post the "after" pics within the next few days!
