The Sun Room.

If you've been to my house, you know what room the Sun Room is. It's the gloomy drab - 70's styled room with wood panneling and acron-leaf ikea curtains. Lets not forget the red brick and tan shag carpet. Amidst its unfortunate state, I had high hopes for re-decorating this room. And my expectations have been blown away.

  But not easily, quickly, or inexpensively of course. Its taken about 4 months to get the sun room to where it is now.  And it all started with us wanting to replace the carpet.....

.....which lead to us tearing down the WALLS, and floor......

I can honestly say now that it was a blessing in disguise, but in that moment where I was standing inside my house and there was nothing between me and squirrel on my porch - I was in utter distress and shock.

Water had leaked under our sliding glass doors and rotted the beams inside our walls and floor. Bummer. Yea. So turns out ripping some old carpet up and laying down some new carpet wasn't going to be the task at hand anymore. Forunately, I'm married to a super hero macho man, and he, along with the help of his father and friends, were able to repair everything and re-build new walls for that room. Good bye, sliding glass doors. With wood trim.

Here is a progression of the pictures from before we did work, to during, and to the (almost) finished product.

Before: 







Basically just looks like crap. Everywhere. haha.  Here is the DURING process.
