It feels like so long ago that we decided to revert our dining room from playroom back into a dining room! Here are some of those long forgotten posts here and here.
Oh, and don’t worry, the kids are fine and didn’t even bat an eyelash at the removal of their toys. They now have a lovely playroom upstairs (I will show pictures of that another day!) and they also have lots of toys nicely stashed away in the living room.
I knew from the start that I wanted to do a board and batten treatment for the dining room and it turned out just how I imagined it! The room isn’t completely finished yet (still need to hang more pictures up and get more accessories for the room), but I wanted to show it off! I will eventually write some more updates with information on how we did all the woodwork, but here are some pictures for now:

We love all the light the room receives now!

^See that awesome photograph of the flower with the blue background? I purchased that at www.daisyraephotos.com and I LOVE IT! Totally brought in the colors I needed! I actually bought several of her prints for this room, which I will show when I finally get them framed.

Excuse the terrible photo, but here are the curtains I made for this room. Notice how we also put trim around the window casing? Totally helps with the architecture!
We are still working on this side of the room, but right now it has a desk. Still trying to figure out how to make it all work.
I am on the hunt for better accessories for the buffet
But these will work for now
We trimmed out the large doorway between the living room and dining room

So, we went from this:
To this:
Still lots more to do and I promise to post updates as they occur!

I’ve been meaning to ask–what is that color you have on the wall there? Also, is it the same that is in your kitchen/family room? It’s a great color!
Barbedwire: It is a color similar to Duron’s Tabacco Road!
