Dining Room

I forgot to post pictures of my dining room with the "Gathering" Table. I really like the look but I'm not sure of the comfort. Since I'm an old bachelor I eat most of my meals over the sink so for now comfort doesn't matter much.

90% Finished

I have wood blinds ordered for the windows. I have not figured out what I am going to do with the dining room ceiling. I have another dead caribou to display, but he might be moving to the garage. I want to add a splash of color and I'm leaning toward the colors in the bear picture. The picture was painted by my father BTW. I'll be getting a larger dining room table and a couple of side pieces for the dining room. The old empire wall heater will be replaced with a gas fireplace later on. Other than that it's done...for now.

Progress

The painting of the living room is done. Some touchup around the edges and painting of the crown molding is all that is left. Speaking of crown molding, did you ever try to cut it. I gave it a shot and after 6 cuts that weren't even close to what I was trying for, I went googling. I found 2 good primers with photos and successfully cut my first piece of crown molding. Fortunately I only have to negotiate 4 inside corners. Reading the explaination for cutting the angles to fit a sloped ceiling made my head hurt. The dining room ceiling is getting retrimmed out. This is a temporary fix because I have a vision for it but I have to find the pieces and parts. It will include reworking the lighting also. I also installed the new electrical outlets over the stairs because my cool LED night lights arrived. They worked perfectly this morning, meaning I got down the stairs without falling. I adjusted,(raised) the front door to clear the new flooring. I think I'll be ready to prep the floor Wednesday. After the floor, finishing the stairs. With luck the whole room remodel will be done in about 2 weeks and I can run up my credit card dept again buying new furniture.
