Halfway done pictures (with new carpeting)

Things are still scattered around but so far we are so pleased with how everything is coming together. We still need to tile the "game room", paint, add crown moulding, mount our flat screen and add some decorative touches. Its a much cozier space to hang-out in now.

This is looking out from the "new game-room" into the familyroom:

I've been sooooo bad on updating our blog with the ongoings of our lives but anyone who has had construction going on in their home will understand.

Here is the before of our downstairs family room/entryway. Kenny replaced tiles in the entryway, in front of the fireplace and the hallway from the garage. There was alot of dead space in this awkwardly laid out fam/rm--so we decided to split the room with a wall with double-sliding pocket doors. One side is the more cozier famroom and the other side will be the "game room". This was Kenny's first time attempting the tiles on his own and he did an amazing job. Our friend, Mike stepped in to help with the wall and it came out better than I had expected.

I couldn't be happier with the way everythings turned out so far. I'll be sure to post some after pix.

P.S.

Happy Birthday Aunt Dot!!!!!!!!!
