Decisions, Decisions

We've finally started the renovations to the family room.

As we took off the carpet that we added in 1986 we found this 'lovely' one lying underneath.

We took it out as well and removed the panelling that has been there since the room was built in 1974 and plan to start from scratch.

After we married in 1986 we slowly started renovating the farm house, which Wayne has been blessed to live in his whole life. In fact he's been in the same bedroom the whole time too. We started with the master bedroom and the upstairs bathroom. As our kids joined our family we renovated the other bedrooms one by one. In 1988 we gutted the kitchen added new drywall, cupboards and appliances. In 1990 we gutted the main bath room and added new drywall, cabinets and bathroom fixtures including a jacuzzi tub.

Each year we put new wall-paper a fresh coat of paint and new carpet or linoleum in each of the remaining rooms of the house, until 1998 and the whole house had been redecorated.

After getting all the rooms done, I was finished with renovating. So we didn't do anything for a few years until it was time to start all over again.

In 2002, we started out by simply wanting to freshen the master bedroom and upstairs bathroom since those were the first two rooms we did after we were married. But then it sort of snowballed and we ended up doing the master bedroom, the upstairs hallway, the upstairs & main bathroom, two of the kid's bedrooms, the entry room, the laundry room and the kitchen. Now in all fairness it was only paper & paint, but again after completing all that I was finished, until now.

So now another cycle of renovating has begun with the family room.
Since we decided to gut the room there are so many decisions to make from the colour of the walls, to which type of flooring do we want, to adding new furniture, sure it's great but what style, colour and more importantly how much is this all going to cost.

Well I'm excited to say all those decisions are made and now I wait, until the painting of "Tate Olive", the laminate flooring "Honeytone Washington Oak and the sofa (encore forest), love seat (encore forest), chair & 1/2 and ottoman (both Latino Coffee) are all added. Once it's done I'll be sure to post a picture.

Now the next decision .......which room should be next on the list?
