Updated Living Room

The time came for us to change up our living room.  Morgan has been wanting to pull up the carpet in the living room since we moved in and found hardwood underneath the dining room.  I told him we needed to wait until we could buy the big rug we (I) wanted.

This summer I decided to save up money from our 'fun job' to do this project. We wanted to paint the walls, tear up the carpet and add a rug.

We actually bought the rug first and ended up just getting a smaller, inexpensive one. Maybe someday I'll get a really big nice rug, but I am happy with where we are right now.


The Before Shots:

We moved the bookshelf, couch and chair into the porch and the other couch into the dinging room while we painted.  We left the TV stand and Piano in the middle of the room.

After the First Coat of Paint

Pulling up carpet

Morgan had to tie this vent up so it wouldn't fall down into the basement.

SURPRISE - we pulled up the floor by the stairs and found old black glue over the hardwood.  We decided tiling over that area would be best.

The Finished Project

Sorry for the dark shot

Furniture is Back

We rearranged our living room.  We moved the TV over so that both couches were facing it and moved the bookshelf from Piano Bay into the living room
