A Completed Space

Other than one lamp still on order from Pottery Barn, our living room is finally finished.  It has been a long journey to get to the cozy, comfortable living space we envisioned.  Because we have a television in the basement living space, we decided to go sans television up here: we don't have cable and don't spend any time watching it, so why bother?  We wanted to have a space to sit and relax with the kids and have ample seating if we have company.  And if we have company, we're not going to have the television on anyway.

So, popcorn scraping, grass cloth removing, and wall painting later, here we are:

Sorry about the lamp glare on the after pictures- it's a darker room and it was pouring, and I had to share.  But you get the idea.  We're so happy with the result.

Now we're going to focus on the entryway, getting the half bath and mudroom complete.  Have you accomplished a big project lately?
