The new living room

I looked back at our achived photos to find some "before" pictures of the living room to contrast with the "after" pictures - that way, viewers could get a better appreciation of all the hard work that was put into our renovations.

Before - a picture of our living room taken at Ronan's 2nd birthday, June 2008. Notice the cramped dining area and entrance to the kitchen (behind where Collin is sitting).

After - we removed the white cabinet that was on the end of the kitchen wall and opened up the wall between the kitchen and the living room with a half wall.

Before - View of the living room taken from the front door. Notice the change in paint color - tan to white - beside the door to the garage (in the center of picture).

After - The big, ugly wood burning stove is gone! We have yet to put up artwork - picture a stunning masterpiece on the wall where the stove used to be! Also, with the stove gone, we are able to arrange our furniture better because we don't have to work around it - the TV cabinet doesn't have to be beside the garage door anymore!

Before - The view of the kitchen/living room wall from the front door - the first thing one used to see upon entering our house.

After - A much better, open view which makes everything so much larger.

Nice blog…. It isn't easy to choosing that perfect Living Room Furniture. It needs to be ergonomically viable and superior when it comes to comfort.
