Megan was all about helping us with our remodel. Her favorite tool that she was allowed to play with was Mark's tape measure. She would spot it from across the room and crawl right for it. It was very cute.
This is what we call the "empty room" There was a wall to wall bench under the fireplace that we knew we wanted to remove but didn't know what to do with the fireplace that would be in the center of the wall. But after having a Realtor walk through the house, he said we needed to remove the bench to help us sell. I will also mention that this was the last room with wallpaper and I hate wallpaper!!! Some parts I was peeling wallpaper off the wall that was thicker then cardboard, at least 6 layers. I am glad to have every single piece of wallpaper gone from this house!!!

After we took the bench down we found remnants of a window where the fireplace is now. There was no way to cover the "window" without messing with the whole wall so Mark had to drywall all of it. But it did save me from having to peel wallpaper from that wall.

So does it look a little better!?! We had the Realtor back tonight and he was shocked at the difference. We like it. But as of tonight our house is officially on the market. So if you would like a 2-3 bedroom house in a very nice neighborhood let me know.

Jana, that was a huge difference. I loved to see the work that you accomplished.
Yes the neighborhood is wonderful but its too far of a commute for us. Good Luck selling the house and looking for a new place as well.
Keep us posted with what happens.
