We have a formal Living Room?

Okay. Let me road map the way this has gone down.
While the upstairs was in serious destruction, our bedroom was in our (supposed to be) Living room.
And therefore, our living room went in our (supposed to be) Dining room.

Now that our upstairs is cleaned, sprayfoamed, and ready for walls, we've moved our bedroom upstairs for a little motivation to get things done.
Sooo... Here is our Living room Before we even touched it.
 
eeew.
We took off all of the wallpaper/flooring (thanks to a full day and a big family! )
    
Had the plaster repaired, and started putting down the flooring,

                       It was really starting to look like we were ready to move in .
I know. its the crappiest picture ever, but I never thought to take a picture of it as a bedroom :) 
                          
Sooooooo after a lonnggggggg year, the upstairs eventually got the sprayfoam we've always dreamed of, and the demo was completely cleaned up. (I'll eventually show you the hilarity that is our bedroom)
And here is our formal living room. Its an inherited couch that I'm kind of in love with. But we've decided to keep it in the basement for my eventual dreams of reupholstering it. (I know. it'll never happen, but It's justified :)   Anyhoo. The furniture is also just temporary, as we are building a new set. (I'll get to that too.)

Eff you, Wallpaper.

The first thing I wanted to do as soon as we got the keys to the house was take all the friggin wallpaper off the walls, and see what kind of shape the plaster was in.
Turns out, its in pretty good shape! Few repairs to do, but nothing compared to what I thought we were looking at.
My father in law, also put in a TON of work taking out the subfloor and tile! The floors are in really good shape, but we are going to put in laminate hardwood just so the dogs don't destroy the flooring. We can refinish them when we have a kidless, dogless, house...ha!
Here is the finished product.. after a longggg few days!






                                   funny enough.. this wall has the most repair... and its drywall!!! hahaha
