Owning a home is a lot of work!

There's been a lot of work going on around the Politics to Peaches house. Much of it is not very exciting, ie ordering a new mattress, organizing (my favorite!) and preparing for Thanksgiving. We are hosting both of our immediate families for Thanksgiving this year so it was crucial that we do something with our empty dining room, which is what we've been up to the last few weeks. We just finished up the painting last week and put the room back together and hung pictures this past weekend. I know everyone is just dying to see pictures so here goes....

The pictures came out a little dark, but the walls are a deep navy blue. We're thinking of adding chair rail and/or some sort of paneling or wainscoting to the bottom half of the walls - any suggestions? This is a whole new world for me!
Here's a better shot of the table and the rug we bought. I just love the furniture - thanks to my wonderful grandparents for so generously giving it to us! I still need to find curtains for this room but that will probably wait until after Thanksgiving.

It is coming together and looking great. Decorating does take work and time as it in all in the details. You are doing a wonderful job!
