DIY dining room chair rail

We just finished our first big project in the house - the dining room. We figured we might as well do it now before we have any furniture for the room. The houses in our neighborhood are pretty cookie-cutter, so it's really nice to have something that feels like our own.

Here's what it looked like before:


The whole house has that same beige color on the walls with the white baseboards.

Here's how it looks now, with wedgewood blue paint and chair rails along the wall. We love the new look, and it's so great to see something like this that we've done with our own hands!


On a side note, the painting on the wall is one that Paul's grandfather made. It looks great with the new color scheme!
