It may not seem like a lot has been done... but after weeks of demo (and a few bumps in the road) it sure is nice to see the house being put back together! Sheetrocking should be finished up tomorrow and then the trimming/painting can begin!
I'll try to include some before photos (from the real estate listing) along with what it looks like today... if I can keep these in order with notes in between the old photo and new!
The view belows shows the wall with the door above removed.... enlarging the kitchen and doing away with the current formal dining room (there will be a new one that is smaller and across the foyer)
the partial red wall below used to open up to the foyer but the opening was moved to the left to the stair hallway....
breakfast room above with door to playroom.... below you can see a view from further back where we took out the door and enlarged the opening to the playroom....
den above.... shot below from further back showing everything stripped down!
playroom above.... and the new playroom below with the closets removed and a new passthrough to the den was made
entering the house above... and below you can see where we closed up the opening to the old dining/new kitchen and moved the entrance to around the corner
standing at the base of the stairs looking at the front door....
Hopefully they weren't too hard to follow... maybe my notes helped to explain the missing openings, walls closed up, openings added, etc!

Looks like you are making progress. Just keep reminding yourself how much you are going to love it! That's what got me through our renovation with 3 kids (one was weeks old!) oh yes, fun times! Can't wait to see all of your design choices come together! Congratulations on #2!!

You are getting to the point where it starts getting more fun. I can't wait to see the continuing progress on your home! I am also looking forward to seeing what light fixtures you selected. I love lighting so much that it was the most difficult part of the design selection process for me.
So fantastic, I can't wait to see to all come together (I bet you can't either!)It's going to be gorgeous! xo
