Family Room Update

OMG, we've finally completed the family room after more than a year!  Remember, we started last August with some major changes including painting, new ceiling, etc.  We've talked about new carpet for several months but this summer we talked about possibly pulling up the carpet and putting down hardwood floors.  The type of flooring we really wanted cost a lot and we weren't sure we wanted to spend that much, however, Bob found it on sale at a local flooring store so we bit the bullet and bought it.  Bob's dad came over (for the second weekend in a row) and helped several hours with getting half the room completed.  We're so grateful for his help with this project.

Between pulling up the carpet, painting and preparing the room it took nearly a week to get this project completed from start to finish.  We're done with home improvements for now.

Here are some photos of the family room now:

I will eventually pick out an area rug for the tv area but for now we're enjoying the beautiful wood.  Everything certainly looks bigger and cleaner. We put down brand new baseboards and quarter round and I put on a fresh coat of white paint over all the doors and trim before we installed the floors.
