Fixing up...the living room, continued.

This is a series of photos showing the progression of the living room. The first picture is how it appeared when we moved in. The owner was kind enough to leave us one thing of color in the house--the tree that was planted in a concrete bucket!





Here we have installed a new hardwood floor and painted the flat wall Tuscan Beige. At this point we didn't have children, so the small living area suited us fine.

The fireplace is nice to have, however it was loaded with cigarette butts and ash from the previous owner. We were told the granite blocks are from a construction project in downtown Boston, but I still don't love it.


We have replaced the chandelier in the dining area with a modern piece and added a new dining room table. The living area, beyond the dining table, has been modified. At this point we have children and had to remodel our basement for additional living space.
