A little sprucing up

First off ...My thoughts and prayers go out for everyone in the path of Sandy. This storm has caused so much devastation. We live in a small town on the outskirts of Toronto On. Canada. We were without power most of last night but it was restored early this morning. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes or suffered major damages.    

On a lighter note Hubby and I have been busy sprucing up our entry and dining areas. We have had the hutch in the entry way for many years. Sorry I didnt get a before shot but it was a dark walnut stain and the finish had seen better days.

I purchased a Tomatoe red  oops paint at Home depot and Hubby had the first coat on when I woke up on Saturday morning. I cant stress how much I love it.

The gallery wall was a project from last year but I will be tweaking it in the near future with the addition of 2 new grandkids.         

We also did some painting in the dining room. These pieces were unfinished pine. The table we purchased at an antique sale last year and I decided to leave the tabletop as is and paint the legs. 

The corner hutch was an anniversary gift from the hubs many years ago. 

The narrow little side table was also an antique sale score and had the hand painted roses on the apron.

I love how they look now and give the room a nice updated look.  

The dining area is a work in progress and is actually an extension of our very small galley kitchen so one end of it is used to house a self standing pantry and my baking centre. 

When I finish that end I will show you my completed room.

Please excuse the dishes on the table as I am working on the other end of the room  and moving things around .

Hope you are having an awesome week. Stay safe....LINDA
