One project--two weekends

Added Moss Panels and sewed the pillows on G'Ma Davis' fireside chairs. I realize the chairs need to be recovered, but they hold too much sentimental value for me to follow through with a change.

The living room/dining room "update" has been on my mind since moving into the home last summer (June 2007). We painted the rooms "camel" although I realize it's not much different than the original color, but it certainly freshened up the rooms. I removed the dated window treatments, sewed a couple pillows and recovered the dining room chairs. The biggest change, one that involved 4 trips to The Home Depot and a little grumbling from Trey, I think, looks awesome! I LOVED all the woodwork in our Atlanta home and have been wanting to add picture frame molding beneath the chair rail in the dining room for quite some time. Well, last weekend was THE weekend to update. We spent HOURS measuring, remeasuring,mitering, remitering, gluing, nailing and slowing making progress on the molding addition. Thankfully Trey did smile (a little) when we realized, yet again, that our calculations were off. Well, what do you expect from two English majors?? Although we did frequent The Home Depot this weekend, our measurements were finally accurate and we finished the room Tuesday (painting takes a while with Sophie around!!). I LOVE the dining room and Trey, you did a FABULOUS job--THANKS!!
