Oh. My. Word.  Why do home-projects turn into such nightmares??

Our dining room has been under renovation of various forms for oh, at least three years.  Hardwood floors are now installed.  Walls were painted…then re-painted.  The latest project, involving the ceiling, lights and re-painting was started before Thanksgiving, I think.  All through the holidays, from my kitchen, I saw this:

 I didn’t get to decorate that room for Christmas.  The dining room table, at times, was shoved into my kitchen…and at times, was in the family room. 

However, tonight, it is now, finally coming together.  Maybe.  I can’t decide how to arrange the furniture.  I’ve scooted, lifted, cleaned and rearranged.

 But, do I like the hutch…that I just spent back-breaking, Herculean effort to move….in the family room?

 Well, it stays for a day or two.  At least until my back recuperates!
