Renovations thus far....

Renovations have been keeping us very busy but things are really coming along! We have knocked out walls (and jack-hammered out concrete footings), built new walls, ripped out the flooring, layed new flooring and painted up a storm. There still is lots to do but here is a mini-tour of the house this morning. (there is a lot of stuff not where it belongs as we were in the process of returning things to their homes after the wood floor was put down this weekend so you may have to use your imaginations a bit to see it in it's "finished" state).BEAUTIFUL new floor! This is really so much better than the carpet that smelled of cat spray :) There is still a little bit more to lay but so far we love what we have!

So when you walk into our "front entry" this is where you'll be. It is also a laundry room/furnace room and the access to upstairs (via the rainbow stairs). It is still under construction but is beginning to show us how great it is going to be when it is completed.

You can see into the boys room from here too....

Here is the boys room....they picked BLUE paint :)The picture above is Ty's bed with their dresser and the picture below is Riley's & what will be Sawyer's beds...so far they love sharing a room which is good considering that there are only 2 bedrooms downstairs!
From the entry you walk into the great room....it is office/rec room/living room/dining room all in one and we are trting to figure out how to best effectively use all of this new space....The concrete floor will not be staying bare but we didn't have quite enough wood so it will have to come in a few weeks.
Off of the office end of the "great space" is the master bedroom. We like it.And here is our bathroom, it will be getting some new paint and some new knobs but mostly it will remain as is.
Our kitchen has too much stuff in it right now...you'll have to wait for pictures of that. But, if you travel up the rainbow stairs here is some of what you what you would see.So that's that....hopefully it won't be 2 more months before I finish off what's been happening in September and October but for now I'm off to bed.
