Thanks so much! I didn’t make four of those six pillows, they were just cushions I already had around the house and tossed out there (I love the mixed and matched look). Those four are from HomeGoods and two of them are actually made from napkins from Crate & Barrel (here’s that post for ya). Hope it helps!

Hey Sherry & John. It’s me again. Just out of curiosity, did u make the pillows set on the chairs at the dining table? If so, how? I like it very much. Good choice of changing the old set of chairs for the new one.

Great work on the remodeling! I have to say, I LOVE YOUR DINING ROOM! It looks so warm and cozy because of the woven chair and the pillows on it. And great work with that 8 feet opening. It looks way better with a half wall rather than a cabinet. Great choice of colour combo, white and then splashes of bold colours in the room from curtains, the dining table etc. The office looks great too. Though not what I would have 100% opt for as I may have different needs, I believe it suits your needs (if not you wouldn’t have it that way! Duh…). But still, dig the dining room! So cozy looking.

1. I would check out your county’s website and go to the building/permits section for a number to call or a printout to read for more info.
2. He only goes commercial work now (not people’s homes anymore). So sorry!
3. I would bet it would vary depending on the date (some places run specials and have remnant pieces that are priced nice and low) so I’d just get a few estimates and compare them. Good luck!

Hi,

We just bought a 1974 house in Chesterfield and I want to knock down the wall separating the dining room and kitchen.

1. Where do I need to call to see if I need a permit?
2. Can I have your contractor’s information?
3. Do you know where is the best place to get the granite?

Thanks

His name is Steve Struder, but he usually does big projects like building additions (John was in a wedding with him, which is why he agreed to help us with a small opening project, haha). So sorry, anyone have a recommendation for Michelle?

Sherry – we are looking to widening two doorways in our rental property.
Do you mind recommending your contractor?

Thanks!
