The Transformation Has Begun....

After 4 months of wondering how and when, the remodel of our Cinci home has finally begun! We agreed to purchase the 50 year old house in early November with plans to have it remodeled. We will be remodeling it in stages with Phase 1 including: removal of the walls that separate the kitchen/dining room/living room and the walls along the basement stairwell, replacing the kitchen, and refinishing the hardwoods that are currently under carpet. You can see pictures of the before and after floor plans as well as some photos I took of the before and after of those areas of the house. I will post other pictures of the house as those areas are redone but for now it's just the kitchen, dining room, and living room.

The Before:
Dining Room Before:
Living Room Before (the dining room is through the door on the right):

Kitchen Before (the dining room is behind where I am standing to take the picture):

And here is the demo mess:

This is standing in the dining room, you can see the wall along the basement stairwell has been torn out as well.



A new wall will be built to partially separate the living room and kitchen but the ultimate goal is a more open living space...I think we achieved it!

More to come....
