Yes. I’m finally sharing the dining room remodel …
I’m not sure what took so long. Perhaps because I was futzing with some window panels. Window panels that I finally scrapped …
and that “scrapping” involved hardware removal. And caulking. And sanding. And painting.
Which should’ve been a breeze considering the hard work was already done. The board and batten was installed and caulked and painted months ago …
… in the months before the infamous finger injury. And surgery. And ongoing physical therapy.
Perhaps I was waiting for the living room to be completed too …
Since the board and batten wall treatment and Naval Sherwin Williams paint and awesome navy and white striped rug would be repeated in the living room too …
… just beyond the arch.
I feel like they go together. A mix and match set.
Like Garanimals …
But I can’t wait any longer. So here it is.
For now.
And here it was …
… before.

Hi there! My name is Linda and I’m a Jersey-born-and-bred Midwestern transplant who lives in Chicago with my husband and two children. We've lived in our home since 1995 and over the years our style has changed and evolved. I wouldn't call my home a work-in-progress -- more like a rework-in-progress as I refresh and remodel things around here ... one room at a time.

It looks great! So glad you went with the navy–looks so good against the white!
