Thanks, I wish I could say I did all the work. My friend and his dad are carpenters, so they helped me cut and hang the crown. Another friend specializes in flooring, so he did the laminate floor. We hired out for the drywall. I did everything else - Paint, caulk, installed 2 new outlets and ran a new coax outlet. The walls that were dark blue needed 3-4 coats. PITA! It was our first time remodeling anything and we are quite happy with how it turned out. Learned a lot, that's for sure. Total cost excluding furniture ~ $1500.
