Family Room (aka Man Cave)

This project turned out better than I had even hoped! It took a lot of painting with a brush, getting into all the seams and doing trim, and I am so thankful my parents were here to help. It would’ve taken me a long time to do this room by myself. It was a toss up on whether or not to paint this wood paneled room, as we didn’t love the outdated look it had, but weren’t sure how it would look painted and didn’t want it to look cheap/worse. Because there wasn’t sheet-rock behind the panels, removing them and putting up sheet-rock would’ve been more effort and money than we were willing to invest. Overall, I think it turned out well, and I am happy we chose to paint it. It is so much cozier!
