Remodel Updates

SHOP

The shop went up in 4 days.  I still can't believe those guys were so fast!

End of Day 4

LIVINGROOM:

So far in the livingroom, we have scraped popcorn ceilings, pulled carpet, raised the ceiling from 8' to 11', sheetrocked, painted ceiling, re-did trim, painted the walls and got hardwood floors.

Before - 8' ceiling, stained trim, carpet

Raised ceiling





It wasn't in our budget to replace all the trim in the house with the higher baseboard.  Thankfully, Pinterest showed me how to make faux tall baseboard.  Looked kinda funny at first.
But it turned out!
 

 

Painted

 
With hardwoods!


DINING/KITCHEN:

Dining - Before
Added chair rail and boxes
 
With paint and hardwoods
 
Kitchen - Before
Took out old countertops
 
Replaced with granite countertops
And siligranite sink
Dusty cut the panels out of these cabinets.  I don't really like them, but I need to keep them for storage purposes.  So, we are putting glass in the panels to help open it up.  Today the painters started on re-doing our cabinets!


 

 
And, we still have a long way to go, but at least we are out of demo mode and moving forward!  The basement is about 4-6 weeks behind the upstairs, but we hope to move into the upstairs after the basement is sheetrocked.  Oh, and then there's tile.  We have a lot of tiling to do, too.  And painting.  Ugh.

The shop is any mans dream!! Dusty is going to love that, I'm sure you will too. Your house is looking amazing, totally different than how it was before.

Hi Traci,

I'm the editorial assistant for HouseLogic.com, a site published by the National Association of Realtors® covering homeownership-related topics.

Would you be interested in granting us permission to feature your photos of raising your ceiling in an article called "Open Up Your House to Gain Light and Volume"? Email me at libby@houselogic.com for the details. Thanks!
