Living Room // Before + After

~ katdryden

One of the many things I’ve learned the past few months is that DANG it’s nice to be married to a contractor.

For those who don’t know, Creighton is a project manager for a residential home builder here in Dallas. So when he bought this house in 2017 (eight months before I was in the picture), he had a clear vision of what the 1957 home could become.

Though I’m now helping him with decision making + decor, this living area project was all him…and I couldn’t be more proud of him or happy with his decisions!

So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy a good ol’ before + after of our home’s living area.

Here’s a look at the living + dining room from the front door right after Creighton bought the house in 2017. Directly on the other side of the living room/dining room was a den and the kitchen.
Sometimes I think the “open concept” trend is overrated, but is was certainly the way to go with our home since it’s only 1,800 square feet. Thus, down came the wall that separated the living/dining + kitchen/den.
Carpets were ripped out and replaced with hardwood floors.
Added some new recessed lights throughout the space.

VOILA! The end result.
And now with a little furniture! There are still so many decor projects I’d like to tackle in the living area, but slowly + surely, it’s getting there.

That’s it, folks! Hope you enjoyed.
