Add some furniture, and voila!

Here's the kitchen and dining room.

George and I painted the dining room and kitchen a very elegant shade of gray. We then added new chair rail molding, wainscoting and baseboard. George decided to get the new molding and wainscoting professionally painted, because neither of us has the skill required for that! That will be done in the next few weeks. George is also going to get the kitchen cabinets painted and add new floor and counters.

We mocked up the chair rail and wainscoting
to see if we can paint it. We can't!

Not done painting yet... but it looks cool!
All done!
Furniture makes all the difference.
