My dining room is closer than ever to being done! I love the blue ceiling - I expected it to make the room feel smaller, but it does the opposite! Taimi got the great idea of using the white cabinet to display my favorite pottery pieces. I was afraid it would look too...
Once again the Zonta Antique Show did not disappoint when it came to having cool stuff! I got a great piece of artwork for my dining room by Masao Ohba. The colors match almost perfectly. The dining room painting is complete (we painted the ceiling blue!) and tomorrow...
