a sneak peek

Our renovation construction will officially begin on Monday (fingers crossed). Actually, it was supposed to start last Wednesday, but delays are unfortunately very typical in this process, and I'm sure this is just the first of many. On the bright side, I was gifted a little extra time to get this blog started...how generous of our contractors.

In an attempt to share this journey with our friends and family, I'll start posting current photos of the house in its pre-renovation state. Please feel free to share ideas and feedback as we need all of the help we can get! I'll also post some of my inspiration shots shortly as well as a way to bide time and anxious energy.

The Kitchen:

Our plans include widening the entrance to open up the room, replacing the counter tops, exchanging the laminate floors for wood, adding new appliances (including a farmhouse sink-a personal fave), installing additional cabinets and an island, and of course, removing that atrocity of a light/fan fixture. Does anyone want it!? 

The Den:

We (rather our contractors, obviously) will paint the wood wall paneling (white or taupe), remove the popcorn ceilings (throughout the entire house), mount a television on the fireplace, and transform half of the room into an eat-in kitchen. The wood ceiling beams (and matching built-ins, not pictured) are fantastic and will definitely remain.

Stay tuned for more rooms...and more work!
