We're coming along ...
Yipee!
New skylight.
It doesn't have the "shower feature" of the last one - but we will just have to do without the rain in the family room!
Once the roof is completed we can really start the finish work inside.
It would have been wasted effort with leaks!
Cleaning out in preparation for floor sanding.
I really do love this room.
The kitchen - ready to be created into something great!
New plumbing to the right , where we decided to move the sink. ( to an exterior wall - to have a window. I like a window over the sink. Of course ...there was no window there, but there is now!)
First sanding - they already look so good!
I was so worried about the floors, that I covered them before I remembered to snap a picture. ( oops )
It's a good thing though - because the appliances arrived and I would not want them to have scratched it up.
More views of the stripped down kitchen.
More recessed lights than this space calls for, but I like a lot of light, and have never regretted adding more.
6 recessed, a Pendant & above and below cabinet lights.
Yep - it's going to be bright!
The new window
Tina has been working hard on making the bath beautiful.
Here we have ....
Well you know what it is :)
Point is - it's new, and clean & taller than the original, so ... much Nicer.
Laundry room moving along.
Once we got to this point, we both missed the window on the right.
So... change of plan - we are going to add one more.
Still dismantling this portion of the back "room" to create the covered porch space.
All the while ...
Mother Nature is working her magic!
( with a little help from my trusty teenage boys)
The yard is really coming to life!
Dug up some of the cobblestones from around the yard for edging the mulch beds
The buried patio has been resurected
Cabinet Delivery
Thank goodness I can call in some muscle when I need it!
Teenage boys - they sure come in handy!
I give them a ton of grief, but they really are good boys, and incredibly helpful.
These are the same cabinets that I used in the last little house. I really like them.
They are solid wood , have soft close doors & drawers , and the best part ...
A Lifetime Warranty
Looking clean & bright
New sink that fits the space much better.
With a linen closet in the bathroom, there's really no reason to crowd everyone with a vanity.
( especially not an ugly one!)
Getting closer ...
I know I'm going to love this spot.
After a good rain you can hear the creek out back. This is going to be such a happy retreat for someone.
Listening to the birds - smelling the wisteria on the breeze. ... AHHH
We are making good progress now & the pretty pictures will be coming soon!
