Remodel - Phase II

So after we got the guest house dialed in, we were itching to open up the main level of the house.

When we bought it, it was dark and chopped up into little rooms. Oh, and there was also no bathroom on the main level. In fact, there was only 1 bathroom in the entire house (upstairs). So, the three main objectives of Phase II were to open up the downstairs, redo key aspects of the kitchen (new counters, new stove and oven, add a bar area) and add a powder room.

Here are some "before" pix...

This one was taken from inside the little kitchen, looking out into a random small, useless, dark room.

Here is a shot from inside that random useless room, i hated all of that knotty wood and i hated that beige wall color!

And here is a shot of the little dark kitchen, before remodel.

Now here are a few shots from the project. We tore all interior walls down...and we had to reroute a bunch of venting and electrical stuff...and we had to put in some support beams since we removed some structural walls.

Here is a shot showing some progress (finally) - loving the new wall color and you can see the new cabinets/bar being built.

Here is a before and after of the powder room. Before - there was not a bathroom, so we had to make one out of a hallway nook. It is probably the worlds smallest bathroom, but I love it! It is an entirely new house now that it has a bathroom on the main level!

And finally, here are a few shots of the new downstairs!

Here is the view from behind the stove...O's favorite position.

This shot was taken from the living room area, looking back on the new dining room and kitchen. Finally it is opened up and colorful!

This one was taken from outside looking in.

Still to come to the blog, the newly completed Phase III of our happy little house...this includes baby room, new laundry, remodeled master bath and an extra bathroom upstairs for baby. Check back.

Happy Friday!
