Bathroom has started




The bathroom construction has started. Tub & sink removed the floor and toilet will be next. The closet on the right will house a washer and dryer. The washer and dryer is now in the basement, after living for 5 years with it upstairs I have been so on top of laundry. Having it back in the basement would be another story.

Under Construction: Tearing down the wall that connects the dining area and kitchen. I can really vision this space now, with having such a small kitchen this really opens it up and will feel like tons more space. I'm getting so excited! Its a complete mess but its beautiful :)

Bathroom Vanity





I fell in love with these 2 bathroom vanities many years ago. They were featured in my favorite magazine cottage living. Which is no longer these days. These two photos came from one of my very very favorite websites http://www.jasdesignbuild.com/. I am having my custom cabinetry man- AMISH TOUCH do something very similar to these tables and then will have a white top mounted sink on top.

Upstairs bath before pictures



Visions: Tearing out bath, sink, floor etc. The closet behind Peyton will house a stackable washer and dryer, having a new vanity built. White subway tile around shower and maybe 1/2 way up the walls? This will be our only bathroom for a while so it will be very challenging. This bath does have another closet area so that will help much with storage.

Before Pictures of the dining and family room


Visions:
Taking the wall down between the kitchen and dining and making all one room. Placing a built in bench in the dining area against the wall with the double windows. Our dining room table will be placed up against this wall. Ripping out the carpet and refinishing the old hard wood floors. Our visions for the living room walls is wainscoting 3/4 of the way up the wall and painting all the trim white.
