Dining Room Update

We finally got around to making some updates in the dining room!  Here is the before and after.  

The chair rail was really low so we decided to take it down and replace it.  The square detail in the molding was created by batting.  It was really cheap and allowed me to use the small multi-tool that I have on hand.  We don't have as many tools as we would like.  The molding cost us around $70 from Lowe's and it makes a huge difference!  I was so happy to cover up that red and replace the light fixture.  Now, I just have to decide on some artwork and our white console table will be moved in soon.
Here are some additional pictures of the before and after…
