Living Room Pictures
Gone is the wallpaper we will forever hold dear to our hearts for keeping the walls so clean. The abundance of wood in the living room is the wainscotting from the dining room that was torn out.

Remodeling Decisions That Add Value: Better Living Areas
The main living room is the central core area of your home. It is both a private and public space that you share with family and guests. The main living room should easily connect with dining areas, kitchen, and hallways to bedrooms. This space should be given top priority in the hierarchy of rooms. However, too often it is not.
Sometimes the front door opens right into the living room, and the passage deeper into the house cuts right through it. Please! Before you go a step further, stop to imagine how you would furnish and enjoy being in a room like this. If you home has this layout, consider some serious surgery to correct this problem. Never allow walkways to cross through the middle of living areas. This creates an unsettling division within the space which no furniture placement will solve. If you have this floor plan, face up to it, and make the necessary changes before moving on.
Most buyers today prefer two or more living areas. In addition to the main living room, these may include a family room or den, a study, and a game room. The trend today is to avoid wasted space. Rooms that are used primarily for display have very little actual use and value. Consider converting an unused formal living room into a study. Sometimes a wall can be opened up to bring a seldom used room into a real relationship with the house. This is much cheaper than adding on more space. Remodeling tip: Make better use of the space that you have. It is cheaper than adding on.
The “greatroom” is a popular layout that combines the living-dining-kitchen space. This open style is efficient in its use of space, combining multiple uses. The house seems bigger than it would if divided into small rooms. You will be able to work in the kitchen and talk with family members and guests in the living area. If you can open a wall to allow a better connection and more light to flow between spaces, you will be making a change that most buyers prefer.
If budget allows, a gameroom is a space that serves a multitude of functions. It is a more private living area that is often used for TV watching, computers, pool table, or children’s toys. The gameroom is often an upstairs common area that connects to bedrooms. Special media rooms are sometimes added, although the trend today away from extra rooms that receive infrequent use. Consider combining a media room with pool table, ping pong, or other gathering room functions.
You cannot think about living areas without considering the traffic flow through rooms. A natural and logical flow will guide people from the front door into the heart of the home – the main living area. The pathway should not cut through the middle of rooms, or make you skirt around furniture. Visitors should not be confused as to where to go. A logical floor plan is crucial to making visitors feel welcome and comfortable in your home. A great living area draws people into it in a natural way, and provides a center for common activities. Remodeling decisions that place great importance on the main living area add value to the home.

Just a few more pictures
Will definitely post more pictures once we get into the house, but wanted to keep myself motivated. You can begin to see why we need/want to fix it up.....here's the back of the house, living room, and dining room
New room almost complete
The work commenced almost two months ago. Garage conversion to second living room. I don't have any before pictures unfortunately but now it's coming along just fine. Finally got the paint work completed around the room. Hopefully tomorrow the radiators will get fitted, and then the carpets on Wednesday. Then its time to furnish the room. I got my HP projector and 100" screen fixed to the ceiling and its looking good. The only problem I've got is the wiring and how to hide it. I was hoping the builders could have hidden the wiring behind the walls and above the ceiling, but unfortunately they didn't have a clue what they were doing with anything never mind hiding the wiring for me. So I guess I'll have a look at some websites for cool stuff to hide wiring with maybe...
Getting units installed by Spacemaker in a few weeks. Once that is complete, I'll be able to hook up my laptop to the projector and with my WD 1TB network drive should be able to stream all my movies to the projector... At the moment, got my WD Media Player connected to the projector unit, with my WD Passport attached by USB to the media player. But all of this still leaves me with the wiring issue... stupid builders could've sorted it and hidden the wires.
Nevertheless, everything is coming along just fine....yay!!!
my new apartment
This past weekend I finally moved into my new apartment. It was a real pain in the butt to get all of my stuff moved out of my storage unit and into this place but in the end it will be worth it. My friend Kayla and I got a 2-story, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse just across the street from Grand Valley State University and we already love it!
Here are pictures of our living room, kitchen, my bedroom and my bathroom, which is located in my bedroom.
