LIVING ROOM REMODEL (Sept.-Nov. 2010)

OUR LIVING ROOM REMODEL
(Sept. 11-Nov. 22)

So our living room was the last room in our house that needed to be remodeled. So, we decided to tackle it before the baby came. Jeff started the weekend I was away on our girls trip to Disneyland- Sept. 11th. He started by fixing the lights, and adding new recessed lights. Then he started to sand down the wood beams in order to stain them later. When I came home from the trip, I was so impressed with everything Jeff had done....especially considering he had to go in the extremely hot attic, during the very hot summer, to work on the lights.
Jeff did about 90% of the work himself. I helped when I could by picking out products, cleaning, touching up, etc. Otherwise, Jeff did it all!


The completed wet bar! We added new granite, took down wall paper and painted the walls, added back splash, new wine cabinets,new lighting, new sink, and painted cabinetry and added new hardware.



Jeff installed these new wood floors all by himself.....very impressive!



The stages of working on our fireplace.


Before.....brick and ugly.



Jeff took out the bricks (which was very hard to remove and very messy), took down the mantle, and added new tiles and stained the mantle to match the wood floors. I helped a little with the tiling, but overall Jeff did most of the fireplace.



The completed fireplace!!
The completed living room!! Jeff did such a great job!! It was a huge undertaking, and I'm si impressed with how much he did....without any help! I'm so lucky to have such a handy husband!!
