Hello! I’m finally making some progress in my dining room! But first, the New Year New Room Challenge was created by my friend Stephanie of Casa Watkins, it’s a great way to kick off the New Year. Every week and my fellow blog friends and I will share weekly updates on our spaces, be sure and visit the other posts linked below!

I’m excited that progress is finally happening in my small eat-in-kitchen-dining room!! Last week, my husband and I removed the old window sill and installed a new one, and framed out the window, this small project made a huge difference! Check out the IG Reel, I made here on the project. For the past several years I wanted to check this project off my to-do list and it feels so good, we finally have! Here are quick images of the project, snapped with my iPhone!
In addition to adding the trim around our window, I really wanted to add some dimension and character to our dining room and knew simple picture molding would do the trick. We started framing out the window sections first and then the wall. I love how this project is coming along, we still have one small wall to tackle tonight and then I’ll add wood filler and caulk around the pencil molding and then paint!
Over the weekend the Electrician was supposed to give me a estimate after confirming we can add wall sconces on the wall…but the night before said he was unable to make it and needed to reschedule, and then I never heard back from him! I found another Electrician and have an appointment this week, fingers crossed I’ll have lights soon on this wall! I’m sad, but pushing though and focusing on the changes we’ve made in the space so far and I’m happy!
