Family Room: Before & After

This is definitely a work in progress.  This room has so much wrong with it.  This initial redo will help us get through the next year or so but eventually the ceiling(s) must be torn down, the paneled wall and probably just a new configuration of this room in conjunction with the front (dining) room needs to be done.

Yes, you are looking at THREE light fixtures includes TWO ceiling fans.

These drapes have to be circa 1980's.

Those are sliding glass doors at the opposite end of the room that lead out to the patio.  Still wondering how to make that transition down the road.





We decided to take down the "molding".  I use that term loosely since it didn't seem like much.



Then we got real ambitious and decided to scrape the ceiling to finally be rid of the sparkled popcorn.

Wow!  Is that another ceiling under the popcorn ceiling? Yes, it is.  After this revelation, Leonard, our handyman, told me to not waste my time with scraping over 400 sq. ft. of ceiling and just rip it out.  OKAY!  I was gung ho, so we planned on doing just that the next weekend, but Leonard got held up on another job he's working on so it didn't get done....this time.

Overall, it's a nice transformation...for now.  Alot easier on the eyes.  But a bigger transformation awaits!
