So, after all this with Finn, his seizures, test, results, doctors, now translation and finding a neurologist in the states...I needed something to occupy my mind, something I would have a little more control over.
My project: to transform our dining room into a place we want to be and eat.
The most difficult part: finding black spray paint; locating a few slabs of plywood to re-do some chairs I found in storage; communicating.
The easiest part: thinking and planning; waiting for the paint to dry (I did 3 coats in one afternoon, equatorial heat comes in handy now and then).
BEFORE (blah-ville)
AFTER (ahhhhh)
Notice George, Stew and Finn enjoying the aspects of the new room!

Wowee! What an amazing transformation! But then it's no surprise if you were the artist, Jill. Your next book idea could be making any living area magnificent! It looks so fun and like a place I want to be for sure...with all of those people in the pictures and you!!!
Wow! Yes WAAAAYYY better! And totally you! I am so glad that they are allowing you to make your house YOURS! Otherwise you would never really feel settled in a "blah" house, cuz it's not who you are! I love it! I'm with Shilo...I want to come and have coffee with you in those green chairs...but make mine an iced, I don't think I could handle YOUR heat!! Love you!
Way to go! I love the chairs and all of it...the lamp is way cool too :) Thanks for the before and after pictures!
NICE JOB!!! Great colors, decor, and you totally infused life into that room. I LOVE reading your blog -- Jill, you crack me up every time I check it. You are so witty and have the best sense of humor and go-getter attitude. Thanks for your post on our blog too. Merry Christmas to you guys. (Oh, and also loved those pics of the boys with the chicken!) Too funny... :)
Gorgeous, Jill! I love the transformation:). I would give anything to lie on a hammock in the heat of Brazil instead of stare out the window at the feet of snow accumulating outside. Soak up the sunshine, me dear!
