I am so excited to tell you all that the drywall is (almost) finished. There are still closets, bathrooms and other random pieces to go up but that is all! I know, I know, you are probably so tired of hearing about drywall. It makes the place look so different. Lots of pictures to share, I think I took a picture of every single room.
Jackson's room. This room basically stayed the same in size. We moved the doorway a little because of widening out the stairs. We added the closet and removed 2 windows.
Other side of Jackson's room. There also used to be an access door to above what was the kitchen on the right wall, that was removed.
Tristan's room. This room also stayed roughly the same size. Again, we added a bigger closet and removed 2 windows.
Tristan's room. The closet we made bigger.
I'm standing in Jackson's doorway looking into the hall. The doorway on the left goes into the new bathroom (it used to be a small bedroom) and the doorway on the right is a hall closet we added.
Standing at the top of the stairs. Straight ahead is Tristan's room. Jackson's room on the right. Bathroom and hall closet on the left.
Master bedroom. The doorway on the right will be the bathroom and the doorway on the left is our closet. This space has been added on and is above the garage.
This is the loft area at the top of the stairs. We walk thru it to get to our bedroom on the left. This is all new space.
This is the dining room looking into the living room (old kitchen). The area on the right is for the built-in that will go back in. The dining room is pretty much the same size as before, we widened the doorways to the living room and kitchen (old living room), got a larger picture window, replaced the two windows to the east and removed the door to the porch.
This is the living room (old kitchen and summer kitchen). The doorway will be a pocket door and goes into the entry way.
The other side of the living room (old kitchen/summer kitchen). We added the formal entrance as well as the small closet in the corner.
The is the kitchen (old living room). The doorway is the pantry, we plan to use the old porch door from the old dining room for the door here. Behind where I'm standing there is a door that goes out onto the deck/porch.
I'm standing in the corner of the kitchen (old living room). On the left is the dining room, to the right is a new hallway that leads to the entry way and garage. There is a bathroom down that hallway on the right as well as a small broom closet. I couldn't even begin to explain what this used to look like. There were many walls that got torn down to make it like this. The bathroom and hallway used to be Grandpa and Grandma's bedroom. We also widened and elongated the stairs.
My pictures are out of order. This is back in the dining room. To the left is the kitchen (old living room). As I said, this room stayed about the same size. There used to be a door between those windows but we moved it around the corner into the kitchen and then put the windows back in (they had been there before underneath everything). The door that was between the windows is the door we plan to use for the pantry. This room has so much light coming into it and I love that.
This is what's left of our drywall supply. And as you can see, the garage still needs to be drywalled.
So much has changed with the drywall being up. We've had so much great help too! We have fantastic friends and family who are willing spend their day helping and we appreciate it so much.
