Finishing Touches On The Dining Room

Above is a realtor shot of the dining room before we bought the house.
I am still in shock over how different it looks now.  See the rest of the dining room updates here.
Notice the "pass-through" from the dining room to the kitchen.  It really visually
chopped up the already small dining room wall.

 So we closed it off the pass-though recently,

 and it really opened up the space.

 

It allowed for a "real" piece of furniture without making the space seem bunchy.

 And...I finally found a place for my yellowware collection.

 We dug the shelf out of the garage,

and we had the (super heavy) 1880s brackets

laying around OUTSIDE.
