Dining Room - Quick Fixes

This past summer while we were re-insulating the attic, Chris accidentally stepped through the dining room ceiling while vacuuming up debris.  At first, I was really excited... Yay!  New sheetrock on the ceiling and no more ugly popcorn ceilings - wrong - not quite in the budget just yet - dang!  But to make the dining room look a little nicer for now, I was able to paint over the hideous pheasant paneling on the walls and we did a temporary patch on the ceiling to prevent losing heat.

After: painted walls and ceiling patch.

Before: awful paneling, rough opening in the ceiling and an outdated detector.
