We have been busy. Very busy. About 6 weeks ago I volunteered to host "dessert" for our annual neighborhood progressive dinner party. We knew that neighbors coming over + crazy dirty *stinky* ugly family room = no good. So we figured this was just as good as any time to remodel our family room.

First, we removed the "faux" styrofoam wood beams. Then my talented husband added some recessed lights to really brighten the area. That involved a lot of time in the attic + insulation = itch proof suit!
Next, we Jeret removed the spindles. This was a load bearing wall so he consulted another fire fighter/ contractor to help with structural advice. One of the best characteristics of my husband is that he does things right the first time. He does his research and does a good job. I would trust his work even more than a paid professional.
We painted the paneling, removed the fireplace insert, replaced the garage entry door and installed hardwood floors (finally)! We bought these hardwood floors almost 1 year ago when we purchased the house. We definitely take our time around here and work on projects one day at a time.

We still need to add baseboards... but we will get to that after we enjoy the room for a little while.
