House Pictures (cont.) - Living Room

After we finished up our kitchen, we began remodeling our living room. Unfortunately we don't have any before pictures...but just picture this in your mind:

1) NO light in the living room

2) Nasty industrial base moulding

3) Wood paneling covering up perfectly good sheet rock

4) EXTRA NASTY aspestos ceiling tiles

Needless to say, we needed to change ALL of these things...

CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS:

We decided to close in our window to allow for one large wall

Due to all the nasty tiles and wood paneling, we had to re-sheet rock most of the room, including the entire ceiling and 2/4 walls...this was byfar the worst part of the project.

AFTER PHOTOS:

In the living room, we ended up filling in an window, re-sheetrocking, painted (green on walls and tan on ceiling), replaced outlets, added base boards and crowned moulding, and added a new light fixture.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add a photo of our backyard earlier...here it is. It is actually 2 plots which is really nice! We lovingly called our backyard a "meadow" because we had so many dandelions. We finally bought a lawn mower 2 weeks ago so we aren't as ghetto.

BACKYARD:


Well, that's it! That is our lovely home. We love it! There is still lots to be done, but we are going to take a break this summer (well, let's be honest...KENNETH will be taking a break this summer. I do help out some, but he definitely does the majority). We are going to try to finish up the little things inside the house and will hopefully be able to add the garage and second story above it next summer.
