I’m not confused! This really is the before. And no, Karianne’s big dining room makeover was not taking down the Christmas decorations. Look closer … do you see it? I’ll give you a hint: beefy window mouldings! I guess that was more than a hint. But yes, doesn’t it make SUCH a dramatic change? Now when you look back at the before, I bet you are all like, “Woah, those windows totally need beefier mouldings.” And here’s the best part, it cost a grand total of $22! I know. I’m off to Home Depot right now too.
See the whole story on Karianne’s blog Thistlewood Farm.

April 30, 2012 at 7:20 PMSaw it right away! What a great change Looks much more open and airy especially with the lighter weight drapes. Extending the window molding is not something that would have ever occurred to me, but what a great idea!
