For fun, I am including photos from when I first moved into my house eight years ago and current photos showing how the spaces and furniture have evolved.
Dining Room BEFORE...(Previous owners installed gypsum wall board over an existing window and after a couple of years, I pulled that out to return natural light through the window into the space. I also painted the original plaster wall a hot chili pepper and replaced my six high-back Italian dining chairs with four Wishbone-style chairs and an antique Regency-style sofa which was placed on the curb by a neighbor.)
Dining Room AFTER...
Living Room BEFORE...(Some time ago, long before I bought the house, previous owners removed the original mantel. In a local consignment shop, I recently found the antique mantel from a house of the same era. I just had it installed this week. Since this "Before" photo, I replaced the sage green sofa with a leather "Stockholm" sofa from Ikea and recovered the 1930's rattan chair cushions. The 1830's Norwegian Armoire now serves it's original purpose in an upstairs bedroom.)
