I’m spoiling you with back-to-back blog posts! We’ve made a ton of progress in the past week and I wanted to catch you all up to speed.
As you’ve seen in most of the photos here and on social media, we completely gutted our house. The main floor includes the kitchen, a breakfast nook, laundry room, dining room, family/tv room, bunkroom, a utility closet, full bathroom, mancave/gentleman’s room, a formal living room, a foyer and central hallway. The upstairs has three bedrooms, two full baths, master sitting room and converted attic closet over the kitchen. We’re also replacing the original the porch. Below are some before photos to jog your memory!
Demo began in October, followed by framing, several foundation repairs, plumbing, electrical, HVAC work, insulation and now finally drywall. So that’s where we’re at today!
Last week, we put down our deposit for quarter sawn oak kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, two linen cabinets and Josh’s bar. I cannot wait to see the amazing products Danny’s Manufacturing will deliver!
Here is a glimpse of our to-do list over the next few months:
- finish the front porch
- paint the walls, ceiling and trim
- refinish and repair floors
- strip, stain and install interior doors
- stain and replace exterior doors
- install tile in the laundry room and breakfast nook
- install tile in the porch vestibule
- tile bathroom floor and showers
- install lighting, switches, and outlets everywhere
- complete built-ins for the bar and laundry room
- tile the fireplace surround in upstairs guest room
- seal exposed brick
- build the stove hood vent
- refinish and reinstall mantles
- install gas fireplace inserts downstairs
- install pocket doors in the dining room
- install beams/coffered ceiling in the dining room
- install cabinets and appliances
- build bunkbeds
- stain staircase
- complete exterior projects
As you can see, we have our work cut out for us! We are honored to have you join our journey and be a part of Our Little BIG Dream.
