I'm not sure what to call the old dining room. That is probably what it is...it used to be a kitchen way back..over a hundred years ago before the addition was added to the house. That is where the chimney goes, anyway. But we don't use it as a dining room...we eat in the kitchen. We use the room as a library, craft room, music room, puzzle and game room...a study...a rec room.... not sure what we should call it...but we always call it the dining room anyway.
This week we have been prepping the walls for painting next week! We removed everything from the walls and have been patching, sanding, removing old carpet boards they had around the perimeter. Mark is going to be making new ceiling and floor boards but he is also going to make bookshelves along one wall, so they might come after.
The girls are pros at spackling now. And at using a crow bar and removing nails...they've helped out a lot.
We'll have to move the piano for the bookshelves. Not sure how the new setup will be...but I can't wait to start slapping some paint on the walls...it will look so different!!
