Living room

Its been so long since my last post, I thought I would let you all know what has kept me so busy. I have been obsessed with getting the living room done before school started so we could get our furniture off the patio in case it ever rains here again. (Actually we got 1.5 inches at our house last week the day we got the last of the furniture in, thank goodness.) Here are a few pictures of the almost finished product. I still have to put in the trim (stair nosing and transitions to the tile floor in the family room), replace the closet and pocket doors and put the mirror back up.

For those who remember what the living room was like, this is the area were the half-wall was that we removed. (notice the open closet without a door)



This one gives an idea what the ceiling looks like after we scraped the popcorn off and re-textured, thanks to Jenny's technique and Janet's help.


The floor is a bamboo laminate. We decided to go with that rather than the vinyl plank we were planning to use. Finishing up the details on this and the laundry room/downstairs landing will occupy my spare time for the rest of the year. We also need to get an area rug and window curtains/drapes.
