New Life for an Old Broad!

Just look at her ~

She's a new woman!









It's been a long hot summer
and this reno took way longer than I ever dreamed it would.
(see previous post)
I'm pretty proud of the way she came through the transformation,

but now Hubs is insisting that I do the leaves too!  arggh.
I don't know if I have it in me....maybe next week!

    I love it, and that awesome stone fireplace in the background is outstanding. Hope you can sit down and enjoy it now.

    It's very pretty, and makes a fresh design statement. Your hard work paid off! Well done! (Leave those leaves until later.)

    LOVE IT! I think the black brings a great contrast to all of the other wood (the bar bottom, the floors, the bannister to the basement). Looks more sleek. SO worth all of your hard work!!
