Home repair projects

I am not totally done with this project but want to show the remarkable difference already. I am happy and so tired! I'm tired of painting! Can I hire a professional? Which one of my amazing brothers wants to come finish this for me? J/K It's got to be done before you all get here next weekend. Check it out!
Before:
This is what it looked like before we bought the house.


Gary built bookcases on both sides of the fireplace and I painted over the awful red that didn't match the bricks!


We then called in some professionals to build us an entertainment center to go over the fireplace.

Here is the finished product when they were done-still miles from being done! But it looks like something now!


Still not finished. You'll have to check back for the finale but this is with the primer coat on everything!


Yippee! It looks so good already. To be continued....

Oh yeah, and this is what happens when I don't hammer on the lid of the paint can, Gabe plays with the cable coming out of the wall and accidentally knocks over the paint can. UGGGGHHH! OK, this is kinda good though. Gary told me I had to wait to get the floor done b/c of money. Well, I think Gabriel just expedited the new flooring. Thanks Gabe! :)

Awnan asks me daily when we are going to see his best friend ever. All I can say is,"Well.....hmmmm, they live kind of far away, so we'll have to just wait and see." It satisfies him for the moment....then it's on to,"When are we going to see the Hoppers?"
