  • I searched through pics to find some of the family room to show you as “before” pics.  This is all I could come up with in order to post.  So, look beyond the people in the photos…these were take at Christmas last year.





    As you can see…this room didn’t exactly have much in the way of style.  I mostly had my Avalanche paraphernalia up on the walls and that was about it.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that…I love my hockey, BUT I wanted something a bit more surreal and relaxing. 


    So, I opted for doing this:



    The view from the television…



    The view from the hallway leading to my bedroom…



    Finally, the view from my chair..facing the television.


    Now …understand that these are “during” photos and I’m not done remodeling this room yet.  I still need to paint and put up the window treatments.  However, compared to what the room was like before I began…this is so much better!!


    Well…there you go!  That’s my update on my remodeling project.


    Have a great weekend!!

  • Your house is so tidy . I love all the plants around the TV . Do you ever light your fire ?

  • Girl, I want to be the first to compliment your couches, and what looks to be vintage wood furnishing. Nice!. Do you watch the shows on TLC? There had been a few where I said, “Oooh!” On the decorating bits, but when I pictured them in the home here, it didn’t really apply. Drat!

    I must say, that looked like one very good Christmas. You have a good weekend!

  • It looks very nice and I love the colors! Very tidy too!

  • Carissa – my mom always goes overboard on Christmas gifts…she’s ocbd (obsessive compulsive buyer disorder) we’ve had to limit her to one gift per child…LOL

    Thanks for the compliments all of you…it doesn’t always look that “tidy” though…TRUST ME!   I do try though.

  • Yours is a beautiful home, Maria.

  • Wow! the new look of the living room is beautiful!

    Did you have “Trading Spaces” come in and do a show???

    You definitely have a “decorator’s eye” Maria!

  • How beautiful.. Fresh and clean! When we started getting ready to sell and packing away, it was amazing how much nicer things looked by just putting up the clutter and having fresh paint! LOL.. Of course, DH says now it does not look lived in because all the pics are put up.. LOL, have a nice weekend!
