Here are some before and after photos for the Dining Room, Living Room, and Entrance to the house.  The Dining Room and Living Room are really just one big area.

Basically new paint (walls and ceiling), hardwood floors, and new light fixtures/fans.  We did keep the curtains from the before pictures – they just weren’t up during the after shots.  We also got rid of the little swinging gate that was attached to the banister going down the stairs.

I’m second guessing that decision now that somebody decided today would be a good day to teach Adam how to go down stairs.  Thanks Dave.

I think we might need to invest in a second baby gate.
