It's been a loooooooooong time since I posted some of my room make overs. Looking back in 2012 I thought "wow, my homemade stuff was so ugly!" Well I have come a long way! I realized over the years that me trying to remake or redo things cost just as much as buying something new half of the time! Arts and crafts are not cheap! Fabric is ridiculously expensive and paint has gotten more pricey as well. Also, sometimes homemade just looks like crap.
Once I got a more stable job position and was making better income I decided to slowly chip away and buy the things I really wanted. I am no longer doing any DIY projects unless it's something worth while. For example, I am going to refinish one of our giant desks because it's a nice piece of furniture made out of solid wood and I don't want to replace it. But it does need a facelift. Other than that I'm buying new pillows and furniture and artwork! No more homemade!
Someday I'll put together a post of my entirely finished home, but for now you're going to see the room that I've been anticipating for a long time! We are refinishing the family room. We are finally covering the paneling with drywall and hopefully replacing the flooring this spring. This has been on my to-do list since the moment we bought this house. I am just waiting for a start date with our contractor for next week. I'm very excited and can't wait to post the progress. So here you go! Here are the before photos!
Progress !! 😁😁😁
Well I decided on a paint color and of course I am uncertain about it. I think I want it lighter, but I am willing to wait until everything is pulled together before I decide to change it.
We plan on doing board and batten. See the inspiration below:
Getting a little closer 😍
