Christian is sanding the spackled and repaired plaster walls here by hand with 120 grit paper and I've hung a drop cloth in the doorway to contain dust. The ceiling beam joints are being cleaned with a paint scraper. Although the walls and baseboard trim will be painted "White Dove", the lower half may later be painted "Linen White" to warm the room and add interest.
The french doors opening to the enclosed front porch needed a fixed knob inside and this black coated solid brass oval one came from discontinued inventory at our local hardware store. It was $12.00 as were the parts we needed for an old porcelain door knob nearby. Both finish the room beautifully.
The wall below is painted two colors with a line dividing them instead of a chair rail; as we may do. Bottom images via Pinterest.
Green in a dining room is lovely and I'm anxious to finish painting the fireplace surround a deep green shade.
