Inside Renovations
This project began with the elimination of a closet in the guest room to add space to the dining room. Kitchen cabinets were then painted, and a weird enclosure above them removed, opening up the space above them for displaying of "stuff". Next, the ceiling was de-popcorned and Brett and I installed the beadboard ceiling. The back slider was replaced with the "french doors" and the trim around the windows and door are being changed to the fancier stuff. We found the iron hanging lamp at a tag sale for 10$ and Brett used the top of a pillar as the ceiling mount instead of some shiny thing from the store. The corner cabinet is from the plantation where Brett used to work. The cabinet was being dismantled to put in a dumpster and is from the 1700s, it would have been such a waste.

It is amazing to see the transformation, it doesn't even look like the same room as before. The kitchen/dining room area looks so much bigger. I love the corner cabinet, very nice :)
Maureen, photos 3, 4 and 5 won't expand when I click on them. Am I doing something wrong? All the outdoor ones open up okay.
You've been working hard.
I love that white flower.
Quite a project that you have going there .... it's going to look so nice - I love those french doors. You are so brave to do that, especially while still living there.
I love the ceiling, that is very nice, my favorite too.
