Front Room! (We are Making Progress!!)

Wearing his "I'm a little farmer" hat on the way to ... wait for it.  Menards!

This was what the front room looked like when we bought it.  Not good at all.  Carpet was horrible.  This room is actually the only room that has old windows that haven't been replaced.  At some point we will need to replace them but from the looks of the window sills and walls they don't leak.  Needless to say we weren't real excited about this room.  And hadn't touched it until the past couple of weeks.

Lots of windows.

Down at the end is PK's "office".  Lots of lost items have been found in that little closet.  It's filled to the brim with toys and tools that he has confiscated.

And how it looks today!!  So awesome!  This would be my favorite room if we lived here.  Lots of sunlight and nice and warm :)

We aren't sure what that box (hole in the wall down there) was used for.  There is an outlet in there.  We need to either put a grate over it or paint some boards and cover up.  

The carpet looked purplish in the pictures (phone quality) but this is closer depiction of what it looks like.  I must say I'm pretty proud of my carpet laying skills too :) (Kris was listening to the Iowa/Iowa State game in the kitchen and not participating much; we've determined it's better for him to stay at a distance unless needed while I'm working :))
