Our Game Plan!

Our current kitchen and living space downstairs needs a complete overhaul! Our plan is to tackle the entire first floor all at once, adding a new kitchen, half bathroom and expanded living space. Since Chris and I are tackling the project ourselves... it may be a long road, but we are going to keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel! This blog will allow us to share our experiences and keep our family and friends up to date with the progress.

Im loving having a bathroom on the first floor!

The blizzard set us back a couple of days on the granite installation.
It was worth the wait...

Plaster & Painting

The plasterers we hired did such a great job. They had the entire first floor done in 3 days! Painting has been quite the project the last few days and we couldn't have done it with out our family. Thank you to both of our parents for all of their help <3









Wood Stove

I actually think that the entire renovation was centered around this wood stove ;)
We had to free up the chimney, re-brick the front and add a liner system to make it safe.

It's going to be so cozy this winter.
