Before. Check out the holes in the wall on the right. The previous owner somehow managed to fit a car in here, but wrecked out the walls with her car door.
Back corner, before.
Jeff had to do some mudding work to the textured walls. For some odd reason, the previous owners had textured the walls AFTER installing the garage door. So he did some patching up.
Painting the ceiling
Drew had to help put the beadboard up. We decided that bead board would be the best way to cover up those holes from the car door. And we really liked the look of beadboard from my mom's breakfast room in her house.
Chance had to get in on the act and help a bit, too.
Putting down the tile floor. This was our first adventure into tiling. Jeff did most of the floor.
But I had to help a little bit because Jeff was so sore from doing 2/3 of it.
Then I got to do the grout.
Floor after all the grout in. The next part was harder than the actual grouting, scrubbing the excess grout off the floor. By the time I got done late Friday night, I was give out.
And here it is all done! Jeff got the baseboards down and we gave the floor one last mop.
Getting moved in. Jeff's music corner. He has a desk on the other side of this corner.
My desk.
We put the love seat out here, too.
We are very happy with the results, and now that we have done this ourselves, we are ready to tackle the next job: THE KITCHEN!!!! Stay tuned...

Well done!! I didn't recognize Jeff in the first couple of pictures .. in all the other pics on your blog, Jeff has been wearing his hat!
Good luck with the kitchen.
Looks great! What a nice large addition to your house that will make. I'm excited to see what you do with your kitchen. That tile job was HUGE! We did 2 bathrooms, that was more than enough. You guys are adventurous!
...the next job: THE KITCHEN!!!!
AKA "Money Pit," in some circles. ;-)
Nice job on the garage. All y'all done good!
Buck: nope, the kitchen isn't going to be that bad. For one, we are only replacing 1 appliance for now (dishwasher). We are also keeping the cabinets as is (but replacing hardware on them). Counters and floors are the main concern in the kitchen. But I think when we get done, it will look like we did alot more. Doing it all ourself is going to save us alot of money, too.

Ah...restraint! THAT'S a great good thing! (And seldom practiced these days, I think. Present company aside, of course.) ;-)
