Dining Room Project: Painting the bottom

It is time to paint the area that will be below the chair rail. The first step is to use a laser level to mark where the chair rail will be.

I then used painter's tape to mark off the separation. 

Next, I applied the first coat of the paint.

There is still a lot of work to do. One more coat of paint, prepare the door frame molding, hang all the molding, and put the room back together. Then the second part: new curtains, oriental rug, and re-do a large picture frame. Stay tuned for more updates!
