Kitchen/Dining Timelapse: July 2013 - January 2014

This is probably long over due as we haven't worked in the kitchen for months. It's essentially done although we still need to install some crown molding, the tile backsplash and a few light switches. We also need to add some frames to the walls but it hasn't been a priority. Other than that it's finished and we are LOVING the improvements!

The following photos are all taken from the same location.

These two are taken from almost the same spot where the dining table sits.

The above picture was taken from about the same location as the old doorway that separated the kitchen from the dining room seen below:

Main Bathroom Update: January 18, 2014

Shower/tub area is tiled but needs to be sealed and grouted.


Walls are primed and ceiling is painted. Half of the crown molding is installed. 


Floor has been leveled and floor tile placement has begun! 



Still no toilet, vanity or new lights. Oh and the tub is still blue.

Main Bath Renovation

When we moved in our house had essentially two full bathrooms, although the one in the basement was icky and we decided that we didn't need to us it until it was redone. The tentative plan was to redo the basement bathroom before demoing the main bathroom so that we wouldn't be without a functional bathroom. A few months after moving in we have essentially one half bath on our way to having 2.5 baths. We're using the toilet and shower in the basement, sink in the kitchen, we have a framed in half bath with rough in plumbing and a demo'd main bath that can't be used for any normal bathroom activities. 

Here are some photos of the main bath:
