Dining Room

Re-purposing a bedroom into a formal dining room

The room we’re using as our formal dining room was in the years past a downstairs bedroom. A small bath, added in the mid 1940’s opened directly into the space. To move the bath entry so it no longer opened directly in the new dining room we added a partition, it allowed for a larger bath and a proper formal dining space.

The plaster had suffered extensive damage from water leaking under the double windows. To minimize the repairs and an effort to save as much of the original plaster as we could we installed  high wainscoting along with crown molding to give the once casual space a more formal feel.
