Den Progress....

So far the den has been gutted, re-insulated (there was hardly any before,) drywalled, painted, new trim, and the holes for the lights are in.
Here are some pictures.The lights are getting installed today.
Quick before reminder:

 

You can see my original blog post here where you get some more before pics and a little description of this fun adventure.

Here are some during pictures:

Day 1

 All the wallpaper/wood paneling/drywall was removed. As well as the (very little) insulation and the carpet.

Day 2

New insulation was added. The textured ceiling was fixed. Recessed lighting was added.

Day 3

Drywall installed. Hole from lighting fixture fixed. 

Day 4

It looks pretty much the same. They had to tape and mud the drywall.

Day 5

Walls primed and new white trim installed. 

Day 6

Final paint and all the trim painted white. I love it so far!!!

While we've been doing this, we are doing some other stuff at the same time.

We added recessed lighting to the living room, took out an old/ugly medicine cabinet in the bathroom and drywalled it. The bathroom and hallway/stairwell will be painted as well. Before and after pics of those will be posted soon. 

 The living room recessed lights. There was no overhead lighting before.

 

The bathroom cabinet before and during.

 

We also added a ceiling fan to our bedroom. Again there was no overhead lighting at all. 

 

So I'll update shortly with finished products. I have lots of redecorating to do to these areas and rooms now! Keep checking for updated posts :)
