The bathroom!

These two pictures are the closet, I mean, bathroom as it was before....

This is the skinny little hallway that lead to the bathroom and master bedroom....

Considering the rest of the house is so large, we decided to change things up a little. The original floor plan had the bathroom on the right of the hall and on the left was a bedroom...

And now the bedroom is going to be the new bathroom and is starting to take shape....

A corner tub and behind Dave, the master carpenter, is a walk in shower.....

This is the skinny hallway now with the first door being the water closet and the second the bathroom door. Where the bathroom used to be is going to be my new laundry so we ripped out a few walls and.....

The washer and dryer will be stacked just behind Sam's head with a bench and a sink at the end. It will remain open to the hall giving the illusion of being bigger than it is! We also stuck a cupboard on the end for linen etc as we realised there isn't any cupboards anywhere. This table is the wasted space where the cupboard is going....

Are you confused and exhausted yet?!?!?!? It is going to look really lovely when it is all done and I am so looking forward to it. Hope you enjoyed the tour and I will be back in another few days with more updates hopefully! For those of you who are Facebook friends, I have added some quick video's of the boys if you are interested.

Renovation

Sorry to have been M.I.A. for so long now. Life stepped up a notch and I have been frazzled dealing with it all! We finally got our house back from the renters and now it is renovation time. Not just a small renovation. No. This is a grand scale remodel. I am so excited about how the house will look when it is all done. It is all the decisions to make along the way that have me exhausted. Then you make a decision and the builder/plumber/electrician says it won't work. Back to the beginning! All mixed in with Spring Break, makes for good, crazy times. Did I mention that the kids have been sick too? I am happy to report though, they are now feeling much better just in time to return to school.
I thought I would share some before pics of the house and keep you updated as we go along.

The kitchen then (please note the gorgeous ceiling tiles!):

And now...

It looks a lot worse than it is! The cupboards will go back up after the walls have been re-sheeted and painted. There will also be new counter tops.

The front room/lounge then:

And now...:

The little room being framed in the corner here is going to be the office.

I will show you some more tomorrow, maybe of the bathroom. Hope you are all well.
