Great Room Before and After pics!

This is one of my favorite rooms in the house!  I love love love the way it turned out.  We worked hard on this room.  Stained every single beam and all of the trim around the atrium with gel stain which was awesome and we didn't have to sand or anything.  Our bricklayers laid the stone around the fireplace.  Dad and Jack tore out the old brick.  Dad built the half wall for the t.v. to set on and made the tops from stain-grade plywood.  The cabinets I found on craiglist for $100 (total score).  Dad did the same board and batten wainscoting as in the kitchen.  So happy with this room!
