Room Renovation

When we moved into our home we planned to convert the formal dining room into an enclosed space to use for a toy room (eventually we would like to use this room for an office). Some friends of ours (who live in the same floor plan model that who do) had a mutual friend or ours (Brandon Kephart) enclose in their formal dining room and they have loved it. We decided we wanted to do the same - as we felt we could make much better use of the space if we could close the room off from the view of the adjacent formal living room. We gave Brandon a call and he came over a took some measurements and said he could begin that coming Saturday. It turned out to be the Saturday we went to the hospital to have Cole. So as we were loading up in the car to drop the kids off at a friends house and to take Kim to the hospital - Brandon pulled up to start on the project. The timing actually worked out well - as we were all out of his hair that Saturday so he could work uninterrupted. Brandon did a great job and finished the project the following Saturday. Take a look at the before, during, and after photos and tell us what you think.

I added a few more pictures to this post. The added photos show some of the decor we put up on the shelves and some of the decorations we added in the toy room.
