So after 30 years we have finally changed the living room. It is not finished just yet. We still need new drapes for the front window, and the pictures for the walls. Carrie and I are working on flower pictures for the sofa wall. We saw some at one of the home show homes. And as much as we both love to take pictures of flowers we are trying to do our own. Hope it works.
We needed to purchase new furniture when we moved the old down stairs. This has been a lot of fun. We are still going to put a bookcase on one side of the fireplace. Bob wants a Grandfather Clock on the other side. But we just priced them, and we may need to rethink that.
I have loved the look of textured carpet since it really got popular a few years ago. The hard part was trying to find something that would not be too busy with the hardwood flooring.
We (I say we, it should be Bob) ended up putting in the hardwood flooring. Bob still wanted carpet in the living room, so we put the hardwood in the entry way and down the hall. I am glad that we did it that way now. It makes the living room a lot more inviting.
This will once again be the family picture wall. I haven't decided whether I want to use the old mixed wood frames, or buy new ones that will all be the same.
and last but not least, the hardwood down the hall. I think this was the beginning of all of this. I was so tired of that old carpet in the hall. So I said I wanted to put hardwood there. I am really glad that I did, I love it!

Wow, it looks great! Thanks for putting the pictures up. I have been dying to see what it looks like.
The carpet is great, very rug like. Goes really well with the hardwood, it was a good pick. Love the tree design on the mantel too, really works well in the space. And the fireplace pops more now, making it more of a centerpiece for the room.
Job well done!
Love you,
M
