We reached a compromise on the next project. I wanted the man cave - He wanted the dining room. I think he wants his man cave left alone so I will not take it over! But, since the dining room table came home last month- we do spend more time in there. This was the compromise we reached- before Christmas we will restore electricity to the dining room and de-clutter the man cave. After Christmas we will go full force into the dining room. Our plan will be January-Early April for the construction. We have found that it always takes twice as long to finish and costs twice as much!
DH and a friend moved the piano out of the hole in the floor. We had to do this first because the plug behind the piano was holding up the re-wiring job. So repairs were made to the floor and we found that the floor has not been refinished under the piano. This is normal here- the floors all need to be redone because the last time is was done they didn't move big things ! But, we just put it right back over the unfinished spot as soon as the floor was repaired and the electricity was repaired.
So we have a date this week to start to de-clutter the man cave! I am only posting these embarrassing pictures to document the clutter - now I am really committed to cleaning it up!

I can't wait to see the finished room, I love the bulit in cabinet, very pretty.
These two rooms will be an enormous project. In the Holiday Romantic Country magazine, page 25,lower rt. hand corner, it shows a fireplace like your dining room one with green tile. They have stripped it so you can see what yours may look like if you do that. For a dining room, I like it white. DH's man cave will be a really great room when it is restored. Keep the tapestry. Lilly sent you a small box.
