The Dining Room and Hallway: Part II

We had to "borrow" this molding to frame the french doors in the living room. 
But don't worry, we still gave this door some nice molding.  So nice that we drove 2 hours to get it.  The best part was driving home those 2 hours on the freeway with a big stack of molding sticking out the back of our trunk. 



Above: Our new hallway with the latest additions: sheet rock, electrical outlet, and a light!  Below: Three views of the same dining room corner












Finished product.
The curtains replaced the glass doors that once covered the closet but now live at the dump. 
Our tool closet still hides behind the curtain.  Someday all our saws and hammers and paint will move into the attic...but not yet.
