Before and After

Lots of projects going on but not much photo department.  I stenciled the dining room, but it doesn't show up well.  I mostly have been focussing on cleaning up the basement.  Built two work benches which provided the workspace I needed to refinish a cabinet, which as yet to be installed in the dining room.  

So, last month was our one year anniversary for closing on the house.  I was planning to do a big massive before and after post, but was too busy with actual projects to get it done.  So, I will do it now.

Ours is the unit on the right hand side.  Big ugly bushes, dark green shutters.

Yes, that's a wall of mirrors.  And all that gold.
