Project of the day – Living room makeover – Part 1

Project of the day – Living room makeover – Part 1
It’s one of those posts where you wish you’d taken the picture before you actually got rid of the furniture to make the most dramatic presentation…so, you get a partial picture from back in 2007. It’s good enough I guess.

This weekend marks the start of another long neglected project, the living room. In actuality it’s the living room and dining room. The carpet has long ago seen better days, and it’s time to update to hardwood with the rest of the lower level. 
What started this you ask? My youngest graduation in the spring. Yup, he’s graduating from high school and the hubby and I wanted to get things in order before we have people come through the house for his party. Why don’t you just have the party at a park or something you ask? That would be a great idea, however, having the party at the house provides me with motivation to get these projects done before May. And also provides me with the excuse to get the hubby involved too. Sneaky I am.
You see that awesome table I made from a garden gate? My husband hated it, I say hated it because it’s long been gone. I thought it was shabby chic, he thought it was a gate that should’ve been thrown away long ago, and not brought into our home to look like trash. Hubby’s, sometimes they have no taste. 
So look here for more posts over the coming weeks of updates I’ll be doing all for the sake of a graduation party…well, sorta of, but that’s the story I’m sticking with now.
