AFTER:

DAY 1 OF RENOVATION BEGINS WITH CARPET REMOVAL!

CARPET GONE!

Our ceilings are around 9 foot and these large faux beams just made the room feel really closed in.

FAUX BEAM REMOVAL

The faux beams were along outside walls as well.

FAUX BEAMS GONE

Popcorn ceiling removal

This room is very large at around 625 sq ft and the lighting was terrible!

ADDING RECESSED LIGHTING

NEW STOMPED CEILINGS

OUR FAMILY ROOM WAS AN ADDITION AND THE EXTERIOR BRICK, DOOR AND STEP WAS LEFT EXPOSED AND HAS BEEN A TOTAL EYESORE SINCE WE MOVED IN. I NEVER KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THE DOOR LEADS TO MY LAUNDRY ROOM. SO, INSTEAD OF FRAMING UP A NEW WALL TO COVER THE BRICK, STEP AND DOOR, WE DECIDED TO IMPROVISE AND ADD SOME COLOR TO THE BRICK AND COVER THE STEP AND DOOR. I WILL BE BUILDING A HALL TREE/STORAGE BENCH THAT WILL COVER THE STEP AND DOOR.
