Alright tonight is a bittersweet post for me. The dining room is done but we won’t get to enjoy it much. I wish I could take my house with me but we will leave it behind and let someone else enjoy all our hard work! I am so excited to be moving and having a new house to decorate/diy/tear up and redo!
So here is what the dining room has looked like pretty much since right after we moved in. I posted the before and after pictures all together so enjoy the show!
At one point we were going to add in these great corner cabinets that our neighbor had removed from his house. We decided against them eventually because it was going to be a bit of work to get them installed and painted.
Here’s a reminder of the buffet before:
So that’s the dining room! I would have added a few more elements if we were staying in our house but seeing as we aren’t, this is how it will stay.
The weekend of May 21st/22nd 2011 we will be house hunting and I will take my camera along and let you join me in the search, so look forward to that posting next week! I’m sorry I haven’t blogged much but we’ve been busy knocking projects off our list. I hope to have some good news to post soon so stay tuned!! I really miss everyone and feel like a big blogging slacker right now but please don’t go anywhere, I promise I’ll be back soon!!!!
I’m linking up here:
You are so NOT a slacker! I love the dining room. It looks so much brighter and airier! Hoping you have good news to share soon too! Hugs! Chris
Love the reveal, green is so beautiful in there and it looks wonderful. I don't blame you for not putting in the little extra into the room. It looks awesome! Good luck to you on the new house search and hope to hear good news later in the week(maybe that you've sold this house)
Have a great week, miss ya BTW!!
Oh Ange! It looks absolutely gorgeous! You guys really did a fantastic job and I know that it will help to sell your house quickly. I feel your pain though, because we finally got our last house all done and then moved…isn't that the way it seems to go? I know you will make the next one just fabulous too!

Oh My Gosh what a gorgeous dining room!!!
Turned out beautiful! I loved it BEFORE, but I can't believe how different, but amazing it turned out AFTER! You are so creative! Just remember, no matter where you go, or what kind of home you live in, keep it open to show Gods love and use your home to serve Jesus by loving others:) We will miss you, my new friend! So thankful for you r blog and fb so I can keep in contact! HUGS! x0x0x0x0x0!
Wow, this turned out beautiful! I love your tall wainscoting and your serene green. Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful transformation from where you started to where the dining room looks like now. Hat's off to you both!
it looks gorgeous! so much fresher and brighter than before! i just got done painting my chairs that have a similar style white too! found you through homemaker's link party. stop by and say hi sometime. andiejaye @
Visiting from DIY Show Off — that is gorgeous!! Good luck with house hunting!
I love all that white trim, and my guess is all that detail will attract a buyer. If you were keeping the house, I'd say install the cabinets. I really like those, but agree that is too much trouble since you will not get to enjoy it.
I'm your newest follower too!
Wow!! You made a wonderful difference. You inspire me to tackle mine.
Maybe…
Ange, it's gorgeous! I love the new beautiful creamy white trim The table and 'buffet' are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your transformation in the DIY Project Parade! I'm including a link back in tomorrow's highlights!
Take care.

Holy cow! I didn't know you were moving! The dining room is superb! The people that move in there are going to LOVE it! So sad you won't be able to enjoy all your hard work! I have missed you and wondered what was up. Glad you are alive and well. Hope the house hunting goes well.
Thanks for coming by to say, "Hi!" Talk to you soon!
Hey Ange! Thanks so much for sharing this with us this week! You know I love your dining room (and kitchen and your sons room, etc. lol)! Hope to chat with ya soon! Chris
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! It's fabulous Ange! I mean really fabulous! I'm a little sad that you have to leave it but I know you are going to find a great new home to fix up and make your own. I am not surprised one bit that your house sold as quick as it did with all of the incredible things you've done to it. Can't wait to see pictures of houses that you look at…do we get to help vote on them.
Have fun house hunting sweet friend!

I love your room! I'm visiting from HOH, and love what you've done! I have a similar table to yours and love how yours turned out. Wonderful job!
Beautiful! I'm new to your blog and just loving it. Millwork makes such a difference on the feel of the room.
wow, amazing transformation! I love your dining room.
Looks amazing – great to see your hard work pay off, but sad to see it left behind too. Now you're just "experienced" and ready for the next step. Way to go!
I love this. May I ask what fabric you used for the curtains? So pretty!
Hello…
Wowzer…what a AWE INSPIRING transformation! I love your new paneled walls…they look fabulous! What a difference they make to your beautiful dining room! I also really like the color palette that you chose…it's lovely! Thank you for sharing your beautiful dining room with us! I'm coming over from Jena's Roomspiration party.
I'm so sorry that you aren't going to be able to enjoy your newly remodeled dining room for long. Maybe you will find another fun and interesting project in your new place!
Warmest wishes,

I love it! I especially love the moulding!
Ange, your dining room is beautiful and I love everything about it! The trim, the chairs, the color, all of it looks great. Good luck on your house hunt!
Great makeover! You did an amazing job refinishing the furniture.
Hi Ange! Thank you so much for checking out my blog
I just love that you painted your dining chairs, the set looks so fresh and inviting now. I can't believe your neighbors were getting rid of those china cabinets!! They are absolutely delightful. Great job with the trim also. I look forward to reading your blog,
