Dining Room Renovation: A Statement Ceiling
Alright – here we go! Reno number 2 in this home!
We wanted to tackle the dining room next since it’s a place we actually use quite frequently for eating in and it’s also one of the first rooms we see when we come into the home.
The Plan:
- Remove wallpaper
- Remove drapery
- Add coffered ceiling
- Add wainscoting around border of room
- Remove 1 chandelier, add 2
- Add large dining room table and pink velvet chairs
Before:
Once I had stripped the wallpaper off the walls we had a clean slate to start installing the ceiling and wainscoting.
You can see my wonderfull husband working away on installing the ceiling, and then in the second photo you can see we went from one light, to 2 lights! The room is very long, so visually speaking it make sense to have a 2 chandelier system to get better lighting coverage.
During:
I hope you love the after photos!
We’re thrilled with how the ceiling turned out, it really does make a statement when you come into the room.
And the cherry on top was adding a 13 foot table to the room! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a 13 foot table!? Very hard…
