I hope our accents of black and red give us a punch. It's a whole lot of brown going on!

Wow, Doyd, it looks like a whole other room! It's great and now you have to force yourself to put stuff on the pretty, new carpet!

Wow, it looks very nice Doydie!

Very pretty! And the kitty likes it too, hopefully not enough to pull at the carpet or pee on it!

I only had one cat who pulled at the carpet thank goodness.

the family room has 4 different doors coming off of it. I plan on sanding, priming and painting all the doors the color of the upper wall. Now I just have to figure out what light fixtures I want. I'm hoping that the furniture will give me inspiration! That comes TOMORROW!!!!!!!! Well at least part of it does. Our theatre wall that will surround our black 52 in TV is black so I'm hoping that will help break up all the brown. We have to pick that up ourselves on Saturday. We could have paid $75 for delivery but we declined. My husband picked out maroon and gold curtains which I don't like but they only cost $15 at Walmart. I'm hoping to change his mind on that.

We haven't moved anything n place since we still have to do window casings and drapes.

Those pieces are heavy! I guess because each piece is actually 3 peices that's waht maked the difference. And the back of the couch looks weird because it's 3 pieces and there isn't any good connection. I had an old long stero cabinet that I took out allthe stereo equipment out of it and palnned a=on making a sofa table out of it. So I might put it behind the sofa. But it's dark walnut. I guess I could sand it and sprya pain it black like all the other wood accents, the theatre wall and then the drpaery rods with black finneals. I'm used to movinf my own furniture but I can't move these. I need to get those disk move things!

As you can see the before and after pics. First DH had a lawn chair and big screen TV then he had his new digs. It was quite easy to get it in the house. They had to remove the connecting rods between all three poieces then we removed our railing going down to the family room.

My grandkids will love hiding things in the compartment on the loveseat!

Got the theatr wall up today. It makes such a presence in the romm. It's just unbelievable. while we had our daughters help we started moving the old family room mess out of our daughters bedroom. The old entertainment center and heavy coffee table were to much for me to help. So tomorrow my DH will work on putting casing around the windows and I'll try to continue cleaning in her room. My babies have to have somewhere to sleep when they come for Thanksgiving!!!! We still haven't decided on drapes and ceiling light fixtures. So right now the room is a mess again!

It might be a mess now Doydie, but you and DH won't know yourselves when it's all finished. Just think..... all that extra room.

I can't believe the difference from your very first photo to those pictures with the furniture in the room.

It's looking fantastic..... and so comfortable!

It's been a hard road, and a frustrating one at times, but it'll be worth it when it's all finished.

I love the coloring so far...so peaceful and warm.. May I suggest you bring out some more color with your Drapes and throw pillows? Some Red maybe? Orange?

Took these today, it was my DH day off. We almost have all the trim done. We did finish trimming around the windows. I don't know at all what kind of curtains to get. I think it would look weird to have long curtains that when you open them you see half wall and half window. But I hated it when I had just window length curtains only. My sister is coming tomorrow and were going to try to decide where to hang pictures.
