Home Makeover

Stacy and I recently ripped out the carpet downstairs and stained the concrete. The prep work was brutal, but it was worth it. And as if that wasn't enough, we decided to repaint the dining room and build a new dining room table. We used a door from our vast collection as the tabletop, and I added the legs and skirting.



We moved bookshelves in to create a library-type space.



We painted over the maroon color of the walls to lighten things up. Stacy picked a really nice green and brown pattern to reupholster the chairs.



The door tabletop. All we have to do now is get some glass cut for the top to finish it off.
