We started a HUGE project last December that I thought was a fun little weekend project-- that shows you how skewed my perception is on things like this and also probably makes you feel a little sorry for my husband (who is just fabulous, might I add). He, my brother-in-law and another great friend did the work from floor to ceiling. New floors, took out walls, redid cabinets, new counters, sinks, plumbing, appliances, door knobs, hinges, fixtures, windows added beautiful crown molding, painted walls, brick, book cases, paneling, the whole nine.
The interior prior to this MASSIVE renovation was terrifying. I mean, so old school you would walk in and almost think you had found yourself inside the Brady Bunch establishment. The thought kills my soul...
So, it began. It was a mind numbing, labor intensive (for the fellas), patience testing (for me), daunting task but well beyond worth it in the end. We really enjoy our space and I love entertaining our pals! I really do not think I would have changed one thing.
A short while into renovation
Hideous dark paneling
New real wood floors laid, brick and walls painted- progress is being made!
My husband staining the floors- LOVE the dark wood HATE keeping it clean. Literally shows everything.
Right after first chandelier installed.
Side View (that rug did not make it through the day and life of Gus)
Who doesn't need a TV in their kitchen?
Before and after of the kitchen.. I will get some of the living room soon!
