Transformation, One room at a time

I am in a manic mode right now. Not necessarily to the extent of bipolar mania, but I'm very driven right now. I just want to do everything. Painting, sewing, gardening, de-cluttering... Every room, every closet, every drawer, every flower bed  is drawing me in. Begging me to unleash some energy. 

While I do have a few balls in the air right now, I'm determined to stay focused and purposeful so each project started will be completed. Hopefully as the mania wanes, as it always does, I'll be able to appreciate the effort because I'll see completion instead of partially done which equals chaos to my agitated mind. 

This week while on vacation, I tackled the dining room. I wanted something lighter in color, a little more contemporary, AND I FINALLY WANTED TO GET THE QUARTER ROUND DOWN. That is all caps (mania) because the baseboards have gone unfinished for over a decade!

I learned a new skill. I am now able to miter corners and drill tiny holes to attach the q. r. to the baseboards. I love the final  product. I hope to find a new art piece to place above the buffet. This is a before picture with green walls and redslip covers and curtains. The actual chair covers were blue. 

Here the blue chairs show up a little. So much color. 

Re-upholstered the chairs with some awesome $5/yd. fabric from the remnant table. 

Much better! Also cleaned and waxed the floors. I may be going crazy.
