Dining Room before and after

Dining Room before: dark dungeon, no light,

and two wooden shelves that had been painted around multiple times...

Dining room after: (the backlight from the window still makes it look kind of dark, but it isn't really.)
Window treatments have been ordered, but the drapes are backordered and we may not get them until the end of October. We'll have the valances in the mean time. They come in tomorrow. I didn't feel like waiting to take the picture. So here's the dining room without them:-)
