95% done!

We are almost done in the family room! Here is the ever frightful before (this is not even the worst, this picture does not show the horrific wallpaper we spent days removing):


Here I am finishing the last of the millwork this morning (Sean does the floors and I do the trim and millwork)



Almost done, just the lighting and electric outlets are left to do~




Of course we still have a lot of decorating to do, but that is the fun part!

  6. Thanks so much everyone!!! The tile around the fireplace is carrera marble mosiac and on the bottom it is carrera marble subway tiles and the drapes are from Ikea (I believe they are only $20 per panel, so only $80 to do both windows!!!).We are just excited to have a new hangout and finally get to use this room.
