Before And After
Alright, here’s the first Before and After post. I sure hope someone else links in! If not, I’ll just have to be bold and try again next week.
This Week’s Before and After: The Dining Room
We’ve nearly completed the dining room. These pics give a great overview of where we came from, and where we’ve made it so far. All in all, the dining room has been a really fun project. We had a great experience with Ralph Lauren paint, we sanded down the intrusive stipple ceilings, and we replaced the receptacles. We have a few more finishing touches to install in the dining room itself (pictures, other wall decor). Eventually we’ll also replace the entire first floor with hardwoods. That’ll certainly give me fodder for more posts - but I just couldn’t resist posting these two pictures now.

Rocking dining room! Can’t wait to have our house so we can post pics too

Ok I tried, we’ll see. I really suck at taking before and after pics and all I have is a point and shoot camera, which doesn’t work well in a small cramped bunaglow.
Yours, looks great!

Mary: Looking forward to having others participate.
Sandy: Thanks! Despite the big transformation, it actually only took us about 3 days worth of work.
Our Little Bungalow: Your pictures look just fine! Besides, this is my first time trying out the autolinker and the blog carnival. I’m happy just to have someone link in
Next week I’m going to post a much smaller “Before and After” demonstrating that really any small project (or part of a project) can qualify.

I’ve linked on there for the Baby’s Room…but I didn’t have the pictures in one Before/After post, so I linked to the Tagged Posts. Hopefully, that works. If not, rip it down…

Andy,
Your nursery is an excellent candidate. Too bad you didn’t have straight before and after pics; but I suspect that most don’t at this point. Its hard to remember to take the before pics when your anxious to get the work started.

Very inviting dining room. May you have many wonderful meals there. BTW - I love the idea of a place devoted to Before & After. I think that’s the most fun part of any remodeling story but too often in magazines or other sources, the Before pictures are left out or poorly photographed. I’ll check here often.
