This is the dining room of our house. It would only have been used on special occasions in the first decades of the house's existence - Sundays and Bank Holidays. This was the fourth room to be finished. There wasn't too much to be done in this room, but we were racing to get it finished in time for the arrival of the piano.

dining room 1 The dining room as we found it. Unfortunately, this is the only picture we have of it at the very start, and it came out a bit dark.
It all got too much for me on this particular day, and I fell asleep in the only piece of furniture we had in the entire house - the wheelbarrow. Quite comfy, actually! dining room 2
dining room 3When we laid the new floors downstairs, everything in the whole house ended up in the dining room as it was the only floor that didn't get dug up and concreted!

dining room 5 More front window work.
The dining room pre-decoration. Note, the ceiling has been painted, but the fireplace and surround are only leaning against the wall. They have yet to be fixed in place. dining room 6
