House Transformation - Part 7 Dining Room

Before:

We have a very large dining room. I love it because we can expand the table and fit a lot of people here, and it's open to the living room.

The plan for the dining room was to remove the carpet, and replace it with the same hardwood looking tile, change out the desk for an updated one, and make a larger mantle on the fireplace.

They took up the carpet on November 22nd.  As they took up the top layer, we found the lovely original green carpet that was here when we bought the house.  Then there was the black foam liner under that, then the sub floor, it was a lot of layers coming up.

And of course, more tile! Luckily Tanner was here to help with this monumental task!

Once again, the cabinets were what we waited for. Once they came and were installed Jared had lots of help with the wiring! He changed out all of the switches and plugs from ivory to white. They wired lights under the shelves and in the upper window cabinets.

Here's the finished desk. I love the little window cabinets at the top. It all turned out very nice.

Randy C. had to really think hard how to install the new mantle.  He glued some boards onto the old little tiny piece of stone that was the mantle, then built around it. He stained in the same color as the tile floor. Blake cleaned up the brick so it's nice and bright.  It turned out perfect, I love it!

Here's the finished product! It's absolutely beautiful!
