A little remodeling going on!

Bob's been hard at work at our place!  I've shared his handiwork before, so many of you know how talented he is, and how thankful I am for all the hard work he does around here!
So, this started with something fairly small, as so many home projects do!  We had decided it was time to paint the dining room and kitchen.  It had been awhile and I (more than Bob) was ready for a change.

Here's a little idea of what it looked like before.  I took this photo last Fall.  The walls were all this rust color, and we wanted to update to a light gray.

Well, after looking at pictures, we decided to put up board and batton on the one wall, and Bob thought this would be a good time to change the molding around the windows and doors.  It had been very simple and he wanted a little more architecture there.

 Here's our dining room window with the new trim.

On the other side of the kitchen is a half bath and closet with new trim too.

And here's the board and batton wall all finished.

One thing leads to another!  Once that wall was done and the other walls were painted, the tiles on the backsplash didn't look right.  So, he put up this subway tile.

And then put up a new light over the sink!

But then came the biggest project.  He had always wanted to build a dining room table, and now was the time!
The table and chairs just got finished and since we had all our boys here Saturday night, they helped bring in the new and take out the old.

Here it is - and a new rug too!  He even made leaves that can add more seating if needed.

I'm so happy with how it turned out!  And so thankful for all Bob's hard work and God-given talent!

On another note, I'm taking a blogging break.  We are going to be doing some fun things and I'll tell you all about that in about 1 1/2 weeks.
See you later!
