SketchUp

I love starting things.  I was excited to paint a couple weeks ago, so I got all of the supplies to do the doors.  As of today, my doors are still fake-oak with no hardware because I took it off so I wouldn't have to paint around it.  Whatever.  No one seems to mind our doors with the empty hole where the handle should be.

I did, however, start a fun new project!  I'm learning how to do 3D renderings.  It's something I've been wanting to try, so I downloaded Google SketchUp, watched a couple tutorials... then a couple more tutorials... and after one late night and one quiet afternoon... voila!

Here is a 3D model of Mom & Dad's family room reno.  I still have to figure out how to ad the scenery outside the windows, but it's a pretty good start.

Or... a different view (better for space planning)...

There are so many fun features with this program that I haven't even delved into yet.  Can't wait to sketch up my own family room!
