Dining Room Renovation: A Statement Ceiling

Alright – here we go! Reno number 2 in this home!

We wanted to tackle the dining room next since it’s a place we actually use quite frequently for eating in and it’s also one of the first rooms we see when we come into the home.

The Plan:

Remove wallpaper
Remove drapery
Add coffered ceiling
Add wainscoting around border of room
Remove 1 chandelier, add 2
Add large dining room table and pink velvet chairs

Before:

Once I had stripped the wallpaper off the walls we had a clean slate to start installing the ceiling and wainscoting.

You can see my wonderfull husband working away on installing the ceiling, and then in the second photo you can see we went from one light, to 2 lights! The room is very long, so visually speaking it make sense to have a 2 chandelier system to get better lighting coverage.
