Well, where to start? We have been BUSY for the past 6 weeks. Crazy busy! We were able to remodel the living/dining areas, small area off the kitchen that is our office, the boys' bedroom, most of the bathroom, and Sierra's room all in the last 6 weeks or so! All rooms got some minor wall arrangements, new tape and texture, paint, flooring, window blinds and organization.
My favorite improvement was this wall section getting changed up some.
Before there were two partition walls with openings in them (as you can see in the "before" pic). The walls weren't large enough to be able to set furniture against them and I didn't care for the openings in the walls. So we decided to take out the wall section right by the front door (behind the step ladder in the before pic above). Then we decided to extend the wall in the foreground so we could put furniture against the wall and be able to install the wood stove on the other side of the wall in the future.
The next thing I love is the new flooring throught all the remodeled areas! Oh it is so nice. What a huge improvement to the look of the house. You can see in the picture collage below we put a wood look Allure flooring in the living areas and boys' room. It is called TrafficMaster Allure in Pacific Pine color. We really like this flooring, it was so easy to install that the kids and I ended up installing a lot of it. In the bathroom and kitchen we put in a tile pattern of the same type of flooring. It is called Traffic Master Allure in Cordoba color.
We tried to choose flooring that would hide dirt and dog hair well and we set actual dirt, mud and dog hair on all the samples and these two were the best.
We have a lot of finishing touches to do, especially trim work, but we are holding off on that stage until we have the shop done enough to be able to finish the woodwork out of the weather. So for now, it is totally comfortable and we are enjoying the upgrades.
