Dining room project for under $75...

I just wanted to share with you all what our Saturday looked like. It is very rare that we do major projects in our house because of the fact that we bought an old craftsman home that had been flipped. With that being said there are always small projects that I want to do but never get down to actually doing them, well as of yesterday that all changed. We decided to add a little more character to our dining room. I have to throw in a little apology, please excuse the mess on our dining room table. You know how it is when you are doing projects!

This is a before shot, again please excuse the mess! 

Another before shot, I promise my table is not always this messy!



Last before shot! (Sorry about the old windows! I bought those because I fell in love with them and still don't know what I am going to do with them!)
I started by painting extra white, semi-gloss paint about 4ft up the walls. I was responsible for painting while my husband was in the garage measuring and cutting the wood/trim. 

Let the painting begin!


Finally starting to hang the trim! The trim actually went up really fast and pretty painless. The difficult part was the true finish work. That was my job, the wood putty, sand paper and painting! Yikes, that took some time! 

The finished product! I still have to hang pictures and move things around but the walls are complete! 

I love the feel of crisp white!

Now I just need to figure out what I want to hang on the walls! It is amazing what trim, white paint and about $70 can do for a room! 
I hope you all had a great weekend!
