Dining Room Redo

This past Saturday my mom made the drive to Lexington to help me tackle our first home reno project - the dining room. I thought I'd start out with a simple room that didn't require too much work. Plus, it's the first room someone sees when they come in the house. I knew I wanted a dark, dramatic color because this room already gets plenty of natural light. This is the room I picked as my inspiration:

Here's the dining room before:

My sweet Mama!

I'm a master at cutting in!

Here's the after!
It's a little darker than the pictures depict.
I can't wait to finish this room. I've already purchased the curtains, but I still need the rods, pictures and rug. Thanks, Mom for all of your help!
