The Living Room is "Done"

I have to put the quotation marks around done because there are still a few more things to do in the room but it will most likely be a few months before they happen so it's done for now. (Those things will be curtains and a picture wall above the couch.) I don't have a good before picture of the living room because it was just an empty room with dirty carpet and cream walls. One of the big things along with scraping the popcorn off of the ceilings and painting that we did before we moved into the house was to have new carpet installed. The previous owners had pets, probably a cat, inside and it showed in the carpet. There were tiny little hairs everywhere that were impossible to get up. So we decided to have new carpet installed and absolutely love it!

Here are a few pictures of the living room and foyer:

As you walk in the front door. You can see the doorway to Hailey's (messy) playroom and the kitchen.

Above our front door we put a picture that has Philippians 4:8 on it. It's a good reminder as we walk out the door each day. We're going to have to replace the curtains that are on either side of the door at some point.

Looking into the living room from the foyer...The windows that you see are on the front of the house. We love all of the natural light they let in.

Close-up of the DVD case you see in the above picture. One of Hailey's favorite pass-times is taking all of the DVDs off the shelves. When we hung up this picture she got so exciting and kept telling it "hi". It has the scripture from 1 John on it "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the Truth" and has two pictures of Ryan and Hailey and me and Hailey in it.

Another view looking in from the foyer...in the other direction.

A closer look at where Ryan mounted our TV above the fireplace. And yes, we have bunny ears...no cable. We are cheap. (We just use Netflix thru Apple TV)

This is the opposite side of the room from the couches. Our stairs overlook the room as you can see. The doorway that you can kind of see to the left of the picture is to Hailey's playroom and leads into the kitchen.

View from the landing of the stairs. We love the vaulted ceiling in the living room. It makes it feel so open and big. The big open space above the couch is going to be a picture collage wall. But I think it's going to take a while to get up...

And just for laughs here is what Hailey figured out today...

She realized she could stick her hands thru the spindles on the stairs and reach the flowers on the cabinet. Smart girl! Although now she's learning that she's not supposed to do that...

Anyways, there's the living room! Things are slowly getting "done". Next up, the half bathroom!
