The dining room is moving along with the wall replacement. We also scrubbed and repainted the other walls to refresh them. Finally we moved the tools out and the furniture back in. We have not put our shades back up (waiting for the window washers to come and clean all of our windows - so overdue!). But I noticed that the room was very echo-ey. Surely this cannot only be because of missing shades? We had moved my sewing machine and drawers upstairs to stay in the new location. So there was less furniture there. I couldn't figure out why that would make such a difference. And it seemed so roomy. Paul then pointed out that we had also moved our microwave into the kitchen and gotten rid of the wooden storage cart it rested on. How could I have forgotten that?! (The trauma of having the microwave in such an awkward location for so many years?)
Well, I do have plans for a narrow telephone/floral arrangement table to go against one wall. Maybe that will help? Oh, and a plant stand to disguise the transition between the new wall and the old faux wainscoting that a former owner had put up and that I hate. Perhaps that will do the trick. Anyway, here are some progress photos:
