I hadn't been inside the house for a week, and wow, a lot of progress was made. I kept driving by waiting for the roof to go up... but as it turns out, the roof was delayed until next week and so they took a hammer to the inside. More like a sledgehammer. No bathroom, no kitchen, no bedrooms, no walls... just memories and dust.
The wall is now gone between the kitchen and Jules' bedroom. Our kitchen will be located in the same location as before but the dining room will be moved to the back of the house where Jules' bedroom was located. With the walls gone, it feels much more open.
This photo is looking from the living room into the new dining area. We removed the original brick fireplace to create flow and openness. Finally, the house doesn't feel like a 1940s box house - it's starting to feel like it was built in this era.
Here is a photo of the former main bathroom. The tub (and everything else) is gone and it will be converted into a funky powder room. IMHO, powder rooms are the place to go nuts. So we will. Pretty much anything goes.
This is a photo looking from the new living room/entry area across the home and into... the powder bath. (Yuck.) I really REALLY did not want a floor plan where you could see into the bathroom from the main living space. We originally created a little "nook" off the powder bath so that you could not see right in, but at this point, we're not sure that the nook is the answer. We're brain storming ideas so that we can keep the open floor plan without a line of sight into the bathroom. Hmmm...
Overall, I am very pleased with the work. The team of 6 is working hard and gettin' it done.
