courtesy of Sid! our new bathroom vanity...in need of primer, paint & knobs! sink top is at the house!
new toilet, sink top, faucet, & shower hardware
some minor framing changes were made to get us back to our construction plan in the closet & office. the floor decking in the new guest room/office/closet have been put in place ready for insulation & sheetrock next week after electrical & framing inspections.
we also had the old guest room completely gutted...bye bye plaster...hello sheetrock! we have fresh insulation coming to the room and windows as well! it will be a new paradise! 
things that still need deciding/on my checklist...
  • new light fixtures for the front porch & top of our stairs landing
  • paint colors & fabrics/bedding for our master bedroom
  • front door & storm door color {5 swatches painted currently}
  • painter {comparing bids}
we cannot wait to keep this progress up! more to come next week!

week 2 renovation recap

We've had a lot of success this week HVAC & electrical are nearly complete and all necessary parts are in place! We've been updated that the project should be complete by early to mid July! Last week we mentioned that there was going to be rain this week and we lucked out {knock on wood} and had mainly dry days! Our framing is also almost finished minus a few tweaks!

Next to come is inspections & insulation followed by sheetrock! Can't wait until the bathroom starts too!
new HVAC chase coming up from the basement in our closet to add to the upstairs! 
beginning of the tear out of the old guest room! 
look at what we've got underneath!  
my new office!
closet framing starting!  
sweet electrician hard at work! can lights and ceiling fans are in! 
closet looking good {door needs to be widened though}
electrician rough in! 
new room from the back corner of the house! its crazy to think how small this room was before!

week 1 renovation recap


for the next 10 days we have rain in our forecast...I am just so thankful that we have a very well installed tarp on our roof decking! we've had a great bit of progress including a large portion of the demo completed in the guest room. we've wondered for the last 5 years what is under the floor and behind the walls and what a treat {ha...} to find out! hopefully we can be equally productive with the threatening rain in the coming week!
this is where Joe's desk used to sit and the future closet!
Roof rafters yet to be raised but we're looking at the office/playroom! 
this little closet & nook are now gone!
hello roof rafters! its so nice to have a ceiling higher than 6 1/2 feet!
