The plans for the other 1/2 of our house are underway. While the hubby was busy sketching and figuring out load calculations for the heating and cooling systems this weekend. I was busy picking out paint colors, furniture and accessories. The hubby kept reminding me that it would be close to a year (if not more) before we would be picking out such things, but hey, that is what gets me through this whole process.
Here is what the other 1/2 of our house looks like today.
On the right in front of the big picture window, will be the dining room with the built-in bench seating. To left of that, will be a little room for the kids playroom. There will also be a small doorway heading down to the cold cellar.
On this wall there will be a stairway heading upstairs.
This will be the main part of the living room.
More of the living room and there will be a doorway heading into the kitchen.
The last signs of the old knob and tube lighting. I know it is insanely unsafe, but I love the looks of the old knobs and tubes. Crazy how they did things back in the day!
This is where the stairway will be leading upstairs to the master bedroom.
On the other side of the stairway will be our second bathroom and a closet! Those of you living in an old home know how non existing closets are in these old homes.
Since the house is completely stripped to the bare studs right now, you can structurally see how our home was built. It still amazes me to see all the wooden pegs!
Now do you understand why I need to dream about paint colors, furniture and accessories?
I would be right with you picking out accessories! Yikes! Very cool the pegs holding it all together, though. And it will be SOO incredible when it's all over.
I'm so excited to see this get transformed!! I'm thrilled for you guys that you are going to be getting started on it!!! Woo hoo!!!
You're going to feel like you've moved into a palace when it's all done!
Wow! How exciting and vexing all at the same time!
Those electric knobs- you have to see how my husband put them to use on my new close line!
