You are painting too? I painted my half-bath last month and just finished the utility room a few days ago. Whew!! Both jobs ended up being bigger projects that I thought they would, but they look so fresh and clean, it was worth it. Next on the agenda is the guest room. It's the prep time that kills me - all that masking of the woodwork! Not fun. The painting goes fairly fast once you get the room 'ready'.
Good luck on your dining room project.
