The family room was updated/added-on to in the mid '90s. It's not in bad shape, just a little dated and dirty. We aren't fans of brass/gold fixtures and there is a serious lack of lighing in this room, so here's a few things we did to make it more our own.
 |
| Before: Closet door knob, and you can see the electical in the upper right corner. |
 |
| Side by side, the before and after. |
 |
| After, closet door knob is more pleasant to touch and look at. |
 |
| New lockset - updated safety and better look. |
 |
| See the ugly switch? |
 |
| Much better. |
 |
| Crisp white electric switches, love it! |
 |
| Down with the dirty, old, brass ceiling fan. |
 |
| Yuck, has it been dusted in 20 years? That's what you get when you buy a granny house. |
 |
| Assembly problem. |
 |
| He's getting it up there! |
 |
| Looking good! |
 |
| Now there's light and a much more modern fixture. |
 |
| This room has come a long way from the de-lace pictures. |
 |
| While we're at it, let's tidy up the entrance light. |
 |
| The former light was so rusty it was a challenge to take down. |
This is the first round of tweaks and updates that help us live comfortably here. Nothing big, no demolition or contractors help. Just a few electrical changes that polish the place up a little.
