{the renovation} cabinets!

June 28, 2010

Sorry for the lack of posts on the renovation lately! I’ve been traveling a lot and haven’t had a spare moment to do posts. But, time I will make to share some exciting progress on the kitchen! We decided to have our contractor custom-build our kitchen cabinetry. We had been so impressed with their work [...]

{the renovation} drywall day!

June 23, 2010

The days keep zipping past, quick decisions are being made, my little Volvo has been turned into a low rider (due to an entire trunk and back seat full of tile and marble…hey, at least I fit in with all the hoopties now!), and I have been a slacker poster! No worries, I have gobs [...]

{the renovation} porch enclosure

June 16, 2010

One of the biggest changes we made to our little cottage was closing in the side porch. I still am unsure why the house had two “front doors”: one leading to a largely useless 8′x11′ entry room, and the other leading directly into the main living area. For the size of the house – around [...]

{the renovation} a video house tour!

June 14, 2010

Last week we were on vacation in the Outer Banks in North Carolina (and it was fab-u-lous!), but being away from the progress on the house was so hard! One, because I wanted to see it everyday through my own eyes, and, two, because we had to communicate a lot from afar and it was [...]

{the renovation} DAY TEN!

June 11, 2010

Husband’s co-worker sent over another set of pictures of the house while we’re at the beach – I just can’t believe how much changes day to day! Here are some more exterior shots, siding now covering repaired and insulated walls… …of the back… …and the side… Inside they made more progress taking down a wall… [...]

{the renovation} DAY EIGHT!

June 9, 2010

The next several days of pictures were taken by one of Husband’s co-workers, who agreed to take pics everyday while we’re on vacation at the beach. He’ll be paid handsomely in beer and/or vodka. I am DYING not seeing everything in person!!! The most exciting thing that happened was that the stained glass window [...]

{the renovation} DAY SEVEN!

June 8, 2010

Okay, sorry – more play-by-play pics of the renovation. I know you’re probably sick of them and don’t care much! – but this is sort of an online diary for me, so I’ll try to liven it up soon with more interesting non-torn-up-house-things, but for now this is all I’ve got! These pics are all [...]

{the renovation} DAY SIX!

June 7, 2010

Ahh I’m already getting behind on my updates! We’re on vacation this week at the beach and it is KILLING me to be away from things. I feel like this is a critical week of things getting accomplished, so not being there to see it is so hard! But then again the sound of the [...]

{the renovation} stained glass window

June 3, 2010

In this renovation, we’re trying to reuse anything and everything original from the house (siding, trim, doors, etc.) – (1) to save money, and (2) to keep the original charm of the house. Since we’re only flip-flopping one window with a door, we didn’t have any leftover windows to use in the future second bathroom. [...]

{the renovation} DAY FIVE!

June 2, 2010

Are you tired of all these pics yet?! Especially two sets in one day?! Well – this one has some fancy scribbles of what’s “to be” on some pics, get excited. Last Friday they hit it hard and got a lot done. Here are some highlights… They started looking at the laundry room/closet and office [...]
