Drum Roll Please.....

Slowly but surely we are making improvments on the little farm house.  This is by far my favorite one!
Here are the before:
Please enjoy the lovely wood paneling...

And dont forget the plastered wall paper that was officially not coming off for nothing!

It took us 4 days total....Luke working his booty off,  and some help from my brother in law Dee on the flooring.

The green carpet is officially gone!!!  Dee suggested a little 4x4 square hardwood floor entryway, which is my favorite part!

And here are the after:
Which includes all new baseboards and casing, new paint, new carpet, new light fixtures, hardwood floor entryway, and a whole new look!

It doesn't even feel like the same room.  We totally changed things around and are hoping that Santa brings us a new Flat Screen TV and stand.  We have been "mostly" good all year?!

The new and improved room!
(Don't worry the TV isn't staying there, we just haven't gotten a new one yet)

The new entryway! Visitors Welcome

It took a lot of work but it was totally worth it.  Luke literally did not go to bed one night and completely finished it.  Poor Evan was pretty much stuck in his high chair with Cheerios for a few days.  It still needs to be decorated and a few things adjusted but we are enjoying the finished product regardless!

That looks great! I bet it feels so good to walk into it everyday and know that you made it look so good. That's my favorite part about creating something the way you like it.
