After: Sophisticated Dining Room
Previous: Before: Catchall Room
What was once the junk room is now a sophisticated dining room. The worn carpet is replaced with new laminate flooring. It looks great, is durable, inexpensive and easy to install. The walls are painted olive green then the lower portion is wrapped in wainscoting to make the room seem taller. Poplar boards are used to create linear artwork along the longest wall. The rectangular design add dimension and makes the room appear longer.

Check out how the crew installed
the laminate flooring and the wainscoting.
