I won't bore you with lots of words on this post seeing how my last post was quite wordy for me. =) Basically here is the progress we've made so far on our dining room. I'd like to get two more of the oval chairs to use where the bench is and just move the bench somewhere else and I'm still pondering wallpaper or at least painting the walls a charcoal color but haven't gone ahead with that. And as I mentioned in the Rolling Cart post a couple of days ago I'd like to eventually find a hutch for in here and move the rolling cart up to my office. Other than that though, it's really starting to feel so much more finished.
In the photo below you can see the wallpaper I am thinking about going with:
Here's a close-up of the wallpaper. I think it would help keep the room from getting too feminine.
