Living Room Remodeling Progress (w/Pics)
Comments (8)Why thank you! We pulled up that carpet about 2 hours after the tenant's last walk-through. It was one of those moments where you just sorta say "wow" quietly...and then rush to the other room to rip up a corner of carpet in there! It's been a ton of work - much of it redundant or unnecessary as we learned - but very rewarding. I'd guess: 2 hours to rip up the carpet 2 hours for the tack strip 8 hours (?) for all the staples - God, the staples! 4 hours to reglue the loose pieces of inlay 4 hours to cut new pieces for the missing ones 2 hours to cut and place plugs for the larger holes 30 minutes to do it again with white oak 8 hours of sanding with the big-boy sander 3 hours of hand sanding under the rads 6 hours of applying finish Somehow, 39.5 hours doesn't seem like enough, given that it's been a 6-month process...I guess when you isolate just what went into the floors, that's about right, though.

Comments (1)I guess I should have mentioned there's a fireplace on the all brick wall of the living room on the far side of the living room, and the current entrance has a partial (3/4 height) wall/bookcase to separate it from the family room....See MoreIdeas needed on remodel of kitchen/fireplace/living/dining room
Comments (4)Leave the wall with the fireplace on. No one wants to see into your kitchen if it is at a time, you just made a meal, and havent had time to clean up yet. I would leave the wall between the dining room, and nook,kitchen too, for the very same reason. I have a dining room open to my kitchen, and no good way to close it up. I hate it. If I have people for dinner, then anyone sitting on one side of the table, has a direct view to my kitchen sink. Not exactly what you want to look at when you are having a nice meal....See MoreNeed serious help for kitchen and living room remodel
Comments (7)If you choose to seek help from a qualified interior designer be prepared for a long delay in the project commencing. I think you could benefit from someone who can do 3D videography and space planning. That way you can see the future space and tweak it as you go along in the process. They can add your finishes (cabinetry, flooring, countertops, etc.) to give you a feel for the way the space will look when all is said and done. This helped me immensely. This will take time, and money, tho. My design took 6 months....See More

last monthI’ve has this photo saved in one of my idea books, and your room reminded me of it. If you’re wanting a simple update rather than a major purge, there are many nice ideas here. I like the view from your large windows, and this earthy palette complements it.

last monthlast modified: last monthRemove the built-ins; wallpaper the niches; add mirrors; salvage the sofas; add coffee table wide enough to service everyone seated; the bench in front to the fireplace allows for extra seating (my bench is from the 1800's and it has been with us for 55 years...many times reupholstered).
Cherry on the sundae...a chandelier instead of the fan. Measure for size by adding length and width of room and convert the sum into inches.
If the carpet has to stay, you can add an accent rug under the coffee table. Pull the sofas away from the wall
