This month I will be writing a series on how my Sister, Heather and I managed to turn an abandoned 1910 Victorian into the beautiful home of her dreams. See how we created a designer home on a single Mom budget with items purchased from big box hardware stores, antique shops and flea market finds.
Her Home: Dining Room Remodel
The dining room was painted white with mustard colored trim and green indoor/outdoor carpet. The first thing we did when we started the house remodel was tear out the carpet in this room. It was a challenge because it was glued down.
This room only needed paint, a new light fixture and flooring. It really didn't require major construction.
Except for when the "contractor" put the old bath tub in the room and filled it with trash for Heather and her kids to haul away. Renovation reality check here. It was a ton of work to get this room done. We thought it would be an easy job, paint, flooring, call the electrician. But things like this took up a lot of time, energy and spirit. (Okay, moving on...)
The blackened maple floors run from the living room straight through to the kitchen. It was quiet a feat to accomplish and without the help of a some amazing friends, it would have never gotten done. The color change in this room is amazing. It was so dreary and dark before. The trim color is called Snowy Mist, the lower paint color is Silver Dollar and the upper is called Silver Gray Beard all in Olympic 2 and 1 semi-gloss paint.
We are so close to finishing this room. We just need to finish painting over that mustard colored trim at the top and finish the floors then it will be ready for furniture.
This is the beautiful light fixture Heather chose for the dining room. It, like most of the lighting in the house, was purchased off the shelf at Lowe's. The ceiling medallion really adds to it, doesn't it?
Here is a sneak peak of the final room. We broke it in by having pizza one night while finishing the bathroom tile. The bathroom vanity is there in the doorway of the kitchen waiting to be installed. But there is furniture in it now and it's starting to really take shape.
Next room up is the living room. Hope you will come back for more.
I love love love the dark floors. My house is historic so we didn't feel right changing the color of the floors. If I could have I would have gone dark. I also love the paint colors. It is really looking fabulous. You ladies are doing an awesome job!
