The dining room revamp, part 1

We started today with our big project for the holidays: revamping the dining room. The dining room was a puke-green colour when we moved in, and it has been driving us a little nuts for the past 18 months.

We started by sealing off the doors:

Next, we had to scrape the one wall clean. This was not as time-consuming as we had initially thought, but it was hard work.

Once we had cleaned up the mess, we painted all the walls white:
