Playroom!

We live in a cool, 1950s ranch home that we love.  Ever since we moved in, though, we have had a few things we wanted to change.  One change we've been wanting to make involves the dining room in the house.  This room sits at the front of the the house and is almost completely closed off from the rest of the house, aside from a doorway entry from the front hallway and the kitchen.  It isn't in our natural path and we don't have a need for a formal dining room at this time, so we've hardly used the room since we bought the house.  It backs up to our living room and we have wanted to connect the two rooms from the start.  So, this weekend, Mike and my dad tackled the project.  We won't be using the dining room for dining, but rather for a toy room.  It's a natural place for Samuel to hang out as he gets a little older and a convenient place for us to put all his toys :)  The project isn't quite done, as finishing work always takes time, but they made huge strides this weekend.  Here are some before and "almost after" pictures.

I will post a few after pics when it's all finished.
