A snails pace, but still moving...

I have started putting more effort into getting the dining room completed, so worked on the walls last Sunday and again yesterday (Saturday).

I have been babysitting my two youngest grand-daughters every other Saturday and that is way more fun then paint stripping! 

Look at these adorable faces.... 


I am starting to see an ending in site... and I am thrilled! Just the thought of being able to sand the walls gets me all tingly inside. I have been stalking Pinterest almost daily... not that I need more inspiration, but because seeing the photos of COMPLETED dining rooms, gives me that extra push to keep going. Cause, I have to admit, laying on the couch watching Greys Anatomy sounded way more appealing then inhaling Citristrip fumes yesterday. 

My progress last weekend: 
One panel and one drawer


Yesterday:
The other drawer and last panel



I still have to finish this colonnade and the middle beam and I'll be done with stripping varnish! 



So, so close!!

Someday, I can quit living like this:



Everything in the dining room is pulled into the center of the room, about 2 1/2 feet away from the walls. Imagine your dining room being like this for 3 or so years.... this is the longest project I will probably ever do on this house. 
The living-room will not take near as long because there is no wainscoting. There is however, 5 windows.... and windows are NOT FUN either.
