DINING NOOK MAKE OVER

 Earlier this spring when things were sloppy out and I was down in the timber making maple, Susie was busy refurbishing our 125 year old school house flooring.  My job was to clear the space, move things out then move stuff back in.













After removing the light above our old kitchen table, I installed the new capiz shell chandelier.  Its got a funky, elegant look.















      My next task was to hang up the pressed tin that we got form our friend Steel Belly, our local wood stove aficionado/antique man.  Tom salvaged the old pressed tin ceiling tiles from and old bank just south of us in Preston.

The 2' X 2' tiles with the barber pole pressed tin boarders went up quickly with Beau's help.

 After considering our options, to paint or not to paint.  We went with the rustic look.

 Susie also refinished mom and dad's old kitchen table and we got our first and last set of adult chairs for our dining nook.











Next on tap is our living room...
