The work never ends 'round here....

We finally got around to taking out the wall between the family room and living room.

Wow. What a difference it makes. Both rooms look much larger and we now have room for Norah's ever growing pile of toys. Still left to complete the room is a rug, window treatments, new pillows on the couch and banishing the love seat to the man cave downstairs. We will eventually get a kid-sized table and chairs and bookshelves for Norah's coloring books, crayons and craft stuff.
