Lower Level Living Room | Home DIY Project #1
“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”
The first project we decided to tackle was the lower level living room one primary reason: it needed the most TLC and work. Welcome to exhibit A:
When I walked into this room for the first time, my wheels started turning and I was making a mental list:
Popcorn WALLS and ceiling need to be SMOOTH
New floors
Fireplace facelift
Exterior door facelift
Interior doors facelift or replace
Window and ledge facelift
New trim
Built in??
It’s a long list, but that didn’t stop us from diving in. First up: operation smooth criminal, de-popping the popcorn walls and ceiling.
