    One Year in and We’re Not Stopping

    We are finally here. This is a post that I have been looking forward to for a very very long time! We have OFFICALLY been in our home for 1 whole year! We moved into this house just 5 short days before Christmas with no time to decorate. I could not wait to decorate for Christmas this year! Over the past year we have accomplished so much. I am so proud of all of the progress we have made. This house is feeling more and more like a home with each project completion. So without further ado, I give you a side by side comparison of what our house looks…

    Basement Wall Demo Part 3

    Here we are! Back at it again! We finally finished removing the 2 main non-loadbearing walls! If you missed the first 2 installments you can check Part 1 out here and Part 2 out here. We started with main area that lead to 2 closets and a bedroom. We removed the walls to get rid of the 3 separate spaces to create 1 large open entertaining space. Check it out below! So much better! It’s one long open entertaining space that will soon house a pool table, bar, and table. Behind the wall to the right, this is the load-bearing wall that will be removed, will be our couch and…

    Basement Wall Demo Part 2

    We’ve made some more progress on the basement wall demo! This is the wall we had our sights set on next. We grabbed the hammer and started swinging away and before we knew it this is what we were left with! Slowly but surely we are getting there! The next big task for this room? Clean up. Once we get all the debris out of the room the non-load bearing walls can come down. Then we will have to get a contractor to come out and install an LVL beam for the wall that is bearing the load! Stay tuned for more basement progress and some other projects as well!

If you want to see the basement before photos click here! And here she is in all her messy beauty! I am so happy with the progress and can not wait till the whole wall is gone and we have the open floor plan basement weve been looking for!

    Basement Ceiling Demo

    It has officially begun! Today was Day 1 of basement ceiling demolition and I must say in pretty pleased with the progress! This is where our basement started! We began removing the panels and here is how far we got during nap time. Just by removing the ugly office panels we gained about a foot in ceiling space(except for the duct work) and even found an additional air vent that was apparently blowing air into the ceiling! We’ve got some really cool plans for the space but we can’t reveal them just yet! Stay tuned!
