Chateau de Ledgeview- The Dining Room & Beyond

I "lost" some of my pictures.

Don't ask me HOW I did that

because I can't tell you HOW.

But- they are somewhere

in my computer,

I hope I'm sure.

So, sadly, today's "tour"

of the dining room will be short and sweet.

I'll post more pictures when I find them.

Here is the dining room as it sits now.

When you step in from the foyer and 

look to your right,

this is the room you see.

They used barn wood for wainscoting. 

Reclaimed barnwood seems to be 

the "hot" ticket right now.

This is what it looked like when they started.

A pretty enough room but he corner cabinets were

poorly constructed and needed to come out.

The door to the left used to go to the kitchen.

The room was completely closed off.

They stole two feet from the dining room

to give themselves a bigger kitchen.

Here it is during construction.

This is looking at the opposite side of the 

wall between the

kitchen and dining room where

they built this server.

The see-through cabinet above has

seeded glass and holds glassware.

The dining room is behind this-

you can see it to the left.

My daughter stenciled a burlap runner 

that is on the dining room table.

She used burlap 

to tone down the formality 

of  the dining room set.

It is layered over a burlap table cloth.

One corner holds two of T's favorite things.

A picture of Ria as a toddler and 

the white ironstone pitcher.

The pitcher is the FIRST THING I ever bought

after MyHero and I moved into our first house.

Family picture in the dining room?

Sure!  Why not?

And what is just outside the dining room 

in the foyer?

Here's just a peek.

I'll show you more of that next week.

And tomorrow?

Well, I just might have some birthday pictures of a

cute little two year old!

My son said there would be  

BIRTHDAY HATS 

for everyone to wear to CJK's 

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

MyHero is looking forward to wearing a

cute little hat.

Hey!  Look!

I found him a couple of girlfriends to party with....

His brother told me MyHero dated 

a couple of dogs in his time.

I don't want him to think he has

lost his touch!

He can still "party down" 

with these-ahem-girls.

Have a great Saturday!
