Renovation Progress

A long overdue update on our renovation progress. The stairs have been moved from the kitchen to the former dining room that connects the living room, kitchen and family room.
There will be a large bathroom w/a wet area (this first space you see), two bedrooms, a media area and a large laundry/craft/storage area on the other side.
Here's a new window that adds in more light. Four steps up and you're at the level of the pool.
One of the 2 bedrooms w/a 3' x 4' egress window. The second bedroom has a large walk-in closet.

  3. Sometimes it is hard to imagine the beauty that will follow when you are in a house of dust. It will all be worth the disruption.

  7. Code schmode. That railing is awesome! If you don't have babies that will fall through it, I'd put in a fake one until the inspectors are gone.

  9. All this during a graduation....I lived that same life last year and happily survived it....
    It takes time, patience and money money money!
    Well I think your husband is handy, so maybe he is doing a good bit of it and saving a bundle for you.

  10. Well well, you do have a full plate, don't you? Having lived through my own renovations you have my sympathy, and encouragement, as there will be an end that justifies the means! Looking forward to seeing the progress. Reggie

  14. The exciting part of renovating a home is a transformation of kitchen. As a mother kitchen is my favorite place. I love to cook and bake for my kids. The last time i renovate my kitchen is when i installed
    Base Pull out Double Shlef for my extra pot,sauce pan and casserole. Its a great thing I had it in my kitchen.

  20. It really amazes me how homeowners can memorize all those details concerning renovations. ;) That’s actually a good thing because it means that the structural design of the house was well-planned, and laid to fit the needs and wants of the occupants. I hope it was a success! Tyrone Speelman

  21. I agree with Katherine! When we were also having our home renovated, I couldn’t picture what the result would be. You know, because there were a lot of stuff around the house, and the furniture were not yet in their proper place. However, once we were all done with our renovation project, the result was just amazing. It was just…WOW! :’)
