We started work on it a few weeks ago and it is now nearing completion. The floor was sanded and painted with the same Feast Watson White Floor Paint as we have done in the other rooms :)
We did have a minor issue with the cat not understanding the words "KEEP OFF THE FLOOR"
The walls were painted in Dulux Silkwort and the trims and door in Malay Grey. I decided to go a darker trim because I love the look and I was hoping it will stand up better to kids grotty fingermarks than white did! My husband then painted the ceiling and also hung the chandelier we bought a few years ago above the dining table, replacing the horrible ceiling fan that used to be there.
Then my favourite part, decorating!! I've spent quite a bit of money in at KMart lately haha. The homewares department is so very addictive and a nice but cheap way to get the look I like! Here are some pics, though we are still waiting on our new couch:
There's still the Fireplace to finish off, the couch and the curtains to make so hopefully I will be able to update with those fairly soon :D
It's really nice being able to properly sit down for meals and fun times again. As my kids get older I really appreciate all the moments I can steal with them. Now the plan is to build up our board/card game collection to store in the barrel cabinet.
