Foyer/Great Room Reveal

The next entry in our whole house remodel is the living room/foyer.  Once again there is going to be an overload of pictures and some are not of the best quality, so I apologize in advance.

As we all know, Mountain Man and I bought a foreclosure about two years ago.  I don't have any pictures of this area of the house when it was in the real "before" state.

However, this is what the room looked like after Mountain Man decided to take the wall down in the now dining room and we moved some furniture back into the Living room.

You can see where Mountain Man closed up the extra door going into the guest bedroom in the picture above and below.


Why would anyone have TWO doors going into one room????

Looking from dining room into the living room.

Don't you just love the angles???

First week of the remodel project - 

Wow, you can really see where the angles were!

Weird, huh?

About three weeks in and the foyer has changed - all the angles are gone.  

In the picture above the kitchen in on the left and the new dining room is on the right side of the foyer.

Six weeks into the project.

This is looking into the living room from the foyer.

Foyer

 One of the things you will notice in our home is - we don't have a couch!  With the way our living room is situated there is no where to put a couch, and  since it's just Mountain Man and I here most of the time, we wanted to be comfortable.  So, we decided to get two recliners.  The other two chairs in the living room we call the Melissa chair and the Justin chair (for my dd and sil).

 View from the Guest Bedroom doorway.

Once again, you can see the kitchen on the left.

The doorway on the far left of this picture is going into the Master Bedroom.

I think you can tell from these pictures that our home is not huge, it's not even large - but it's big enough for me, Mountain Man, and the two pups!

View from the dining room.

See the Master bedroom in the background?

Here is the Justin chair.

I'll leave you with a picture of the small table in the living room by Justin's chair.

The picture is one that I took at Highland Hammock State Park, where we worked one winter.  We love this shot.

So, what do you think?  


See you on Friday with a little craft project.

Hugs -

Carol
