Happy New Year!

The dining room managed to near completion this weekend! The final touches {hang the wine rack, steam the drapes, raise one of the rods 1/2 inch, clean the filthy floors, additional decorating, etc.} should be wrapped up soon. But I couldn’t wait to give you a sneak peak. The lighting this time of day is a little strange, but I have limited patience.

Dining room with charcoal gray walls and linen striped curtain panels
As a reminder, here was the before dining room when the previous owners were there and my design board after us purchasing but prior to us moving in:
I’m just going to go ahead and say that my Photoshop skills, although rather remedial, were a pretty dang good representation of how the room would look!
And one final shot of the after. I am in love!

    I would say your Photoshop skills are pretty awesome! Love how the stripes make the windows look taller. You have a beautiful dining room!
