Time to Recline

Our living room has a lot of character. After being overwhelmed by all the wood at first, we have grown to like the wood paneling, wood floors, and even the wood built-in shelves for the entertainment center. Hours of work + an incredible wife who decorates = another finished room!

Before




The big project in this room was all the painting. We painted the previously wallpapered walls and what seemed like miles of trim. Although it took a lot of time, we are pretty happy with the outcome.

The folding chairs in this picture served as our only furniture the first two weeks. A lot of meals were eaten on those chairs!


This gives you an image of the color of the previous trim (left) with the newly painted white trim (right).

After




As you can see, we scored the previous owner's TV! She claimed that 4 guys who could all bench press over 200 lbs couldn't get it out of the house! She asked us if we were interested in a TV, and I said no, because I didn't want to pay for one! I told her if she could get it, that she was welcome to it. It's still sitting in our living room 3 months later, so I'm assuming its ours! It beautifully broadcasts our 4 good digital channels that we pick up from the 'bunny ears' in HIGH DEFINITION. I suppose we will figure out how to get it out of the house when TVs become obsolete....
