Finally Done With the Living Room Remodel (the Last Bit of Molding)

I haven't worked on the family room remodel for a looooong time now. It's been stalled. eleven months after starting. Finally, I received the big kick in the butt I needed to finish the project.
It was a lot of work. New paint, bamboo flooring, base molding. crown molding, and a shelving unit changed the room dramatically. Then I ran out of steam. The project was stalled but the calendar marched along.
This opening features beat-up, rounded corners. This style of rounded corners is popular here in the southwest, in newer homes. This is the only location in our home that has them, probably a 1979 premium-upgrade from the tract home builder.
They don't fit the style of the house and are in rough shape. The crown molding above it is still unpainted.
Some putty, caulk, and paint later and it was done. It really freshened up the room.
With that last bit done the room is complete. All we need is a nice chair or two, a rug, and some small end tables. Either way, construction is done!
A fun project. Take a look at the whole project as well as more on this final bit in the blog post. Enjoy!

Anna Picket on Mar 22, 2016The new flooring as well as the shelving unit for the TV along the wall really changed the look of the room. It feels bigger somehow in these pictures. Maybe we should redo the flooring in our living room as well. The carpet is a bit worn out. http://www.sunrisetreeandlandscape.com
