Family Room Remodeling Saga

Richard spent much of his Christmas break remodeling our family room. (He did the tile this summer.)


He removed the old and inexpensive-when-new paneling.





(We didn't get a before picture so this one of the removed paneling will have to do. )

He also scrapped off the popcorn texturing on the ceiling.

The next step was putting up sheetrock and removing wallpaper from previously sheetrocked walls.

Then came texturing the ceiling and walls. It took a lot of preparation.





























And then the paint and baseboards.





(If you are interested we used Lowe's Valspar paint.
Accent wall: Seattle Haze 4003-4B
Other walls: Misty Morning Dew 4003-3C)











Finally about 11:00 PM Saturday night we started moving the furniture back into the family room from the kitchen and entry hall.


We're not finished yet but getting close!
