House Renovation

For those of you out there who want all the splendid details of the house renovation, you will seriously enjoy the next handful of posts.  I will post before, during and after pictures... can you tell we are over-the-top pleased with the house?


Summary: the renovation took 4 1/2 months and we added on 1,002 square feet to our house.  We left most of the downstairs room the same (except for removing the wall between the dining room and kitchen) and adding in the stairs. 


We ended up adding on a few extras once we began construction - new downstairs windows (you know the kind that actually deflect heat/cold... imagine that!), painting the exterior, refinishing the wood floors, re-texturing and painting all rooms and trim, moving around the full and half bath toilet/sinks.  Okay, so maybe we added on more than a few things but I'm  SO GLAD we did all of them.  Once we realized how nice the upstairs was going to be, we realized we need to do a bunch more to bring the downstairs up to par.  


I hope you enjoy watching this process...  you receive the instant gratification that took us 4 1/2 months to get to!
