J got his garage toys recently.  M is getting her turn now.  The family room is starting to really take shape.  You can see by these pictures that the room now looks more like part of the house than a former garage. 

M is looking forward to seeing the floors go in, but before they do, she’s testing out paint colors.  Since this project was started almost a year ago, she’s had her inspiration painting under wraps.  Her brand new furniture is still on order, waiting to be delivered.  She’s got to make this project hang together with the final color and materials choices that she makes now.

It’s a good thing that the space is completely enclosed and heat is just about to go in, since the project should be wrapping up before the cold weather sets in.
