The living room is one of my favorite rooms of the house.  Not only does it have one of my preferred windows, it’s also undergone a major transformation.

I gave a peak of it during our before and after reveal but here are a few more photos to give you an idea just how much work it was…

This is what awaited us when we toured the home: cheap faux wood paneling, a dark, dusty and wavy wood floor, a cracked ceiling and a gap where an obsolete window to the front porch still hung.

Not impressive.

It was a lot like the rest of the house–the potential was there but it was going to take a lot of work.  So that’s what we did–got to work.

Putting the heating ducts in and hiding them behind some recessed lighting…

… then drywalling the recessed lighting/heat ducts.

Pulling out the old windows….

…and putting in the new ($25!) window.

Prepared to tear up the wood floor…

…and then finally removing the wood floor and trim.

Then it was just a matter of painting, laying carpet, installing a new ceiling fan, putting up crown molding…

…and the finishing trim.

Jack built that handsome trim himself!

Now the living room can be checked off our list!  What a much-appreciated, impressive improvement.
