In order to get ready for the baby, we're trying to finish a few "larger" remodeling projects on our house. Right now we're in the middle of remodeling the family room, dining room, and eventual pantry area. The family room is the biggest transformation so far. The dirty carpet is gone. The giant brick wall is gone. Soon the brown wood trim will be gone. We're also painting the room a tan color. We liked the green, but tan will give us flexibility when we eventually have to buy new furniture. See the transformation below (...and remember, it's not finished).
