The Living Room (AFTER)




We'll begin the tour with the south side of our living room. This is a reading/video game area. The door the the right opens to a small room that used to be part of the porch. Since it's not heated, we use it for storage.




This is the north side of our living room. Our living room is actually so big that we've made it into two living rooms in one! We also have two televisions (one for the video games and one for television and movies). *Notice our cute dog in the bottom right-hand corner - she appears in a lot of these shots. She likes to help out... kind of like an assistant.




This is the view of the living room from the dining room. We strung up paper lanterns for lighting as a temporary fix. We plan on installing recessed lighting, but are unsure of when we'll be ready for that project. There are a lot of projects that we have on the to-do list, and recessed lighting is somewhat on the back burner.

Hi Sarah and Joe,

Thanks for sharing your blog site with me! I love seeing the before and after images.

I can appreciate all of the hard work and effort you've put into the changes you've made.I guess that why they call it "sweat equity"!

Once the weather breaks, I know that you'll want to spend a lot of time outdoors. I look forward to seeing your gardens as well.

I really enjoyed working with you two and love seeing how much you're enjoying your home.

Take care and God bless!
