Coming along…

Some of you may have heard that Cindy and I have started a project to re-design our family room. At this point a lot of the work is done, we are waiting on the painting and carpet. Once this is done we will need to wait for our furniture from Crate and Barrel to be delivered, but we are narrowing down on the room. Here is a run down of what we are doing:

  • Replace the couch with the Crate and Barrel Axis Sectional in a Mocha micro-fiber suede
  • Move the large Rojo cabinate into the dining room and replace it with the Rojo Media Cabinate (also from Crate and Barrel, Rob from the Short Pump store is our new best friend).
  • Remove the “bathroom marble” fireplace surround and replace with the same granite from our kitchen
  • Build and install a mantel around the fireplace
  • Removing the built-in over the fireplace
  • Replacing the TV and mounting it on the opposite wall (we choose the Samsung LNT5271F, 52″ LCD)
  • Install new surround sound system
  • Paint the room
  • Wire audi/video from the new TV to the built-in behind the sofa
  • Replace my office door with a glass insert door
  • Finally, new carpet (removing the crappy builder burber)

Today we came home to find our mantel installation completed. See the before and after shots below:
