As I type this with my boot propped up on the couch, I still can’t believe I’m writing this…our Main Room Makeover is finished! We’ve had a bunch of obstacles to overcome but we did it, and in only a few short months. It seems like only yesterday I was envisioning the space, and now it’s our reality. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
Before we share the final pictures, let’s take a look at what we started with:
We had a huge front room that we never utilized and a three bedroom home. Now we have a four bedroom home with a complete open concept and a lot more light. See for yourself:
All About the Details
Besides seeing my vision come to life, my favorite part of the project was piecing together all the details. I spent a lot of time researching, searching marketplace and Craigslist and hunting through antique stores looking for the pieces to complete our new dining room. Thank you to my husband and my family for putting up with my craziness and helping me piece everything together! Here are a few of my favorites:

Behind the Scenes
There was a ton of work that went into this project and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing husband, my unbelievably patient and helpful parents, my hardworking brother and two little girls that are really excited about remodeling. We accomplished a lot that we had never done before – from refinishing furniture to adding a light fixture and switch, I am very proud of the work and thankful for all the help – especially in these last few weeks while I’ve been out of commission.
Before and After
I love looking back at how far we’ve come and nothing shows it better than a few Before and After photos. Here are some of our favorites:
We still need to finish up some work in the kitchen, but we aren’t in a major rush right now. We’re just counting down the days until Baby Boy Schorr joins us but if he can wait a little longer so my ankle heals a bit more, that would be for the best. We had to see a specialist and I am confined to the boot 100% of the time and we have a follow up visit next week to see if we need more x-rays or an MRI.
It’s still really painful and I am so thankful for my husband for helping me wash my hair since I can’t shower and for getting me in and out of my boot since I can’t reach the bottom straps due to my belly. The girls have been really helpful and my parents have been angels for helping with the girls so I can keep my ankle elevated. We’ll keep you posted on remodel updates or baby updates as we can! But for now, enjoy a few more of my favorite pics:
