Building Our Dream House

Our Biggest Mess: Progress – October 2012

Remodeling progress pictures - we started gutting our house built in 1925 just over 12 months ago and you won't believe how far we've come.

This is the bathroom we added/are still working on. This bathroom is what we are currently working on finishing. We just started using the tub/shower and it’s so nice not to use the icky shower surround any more. The lack of walls does make for a cold shower though.

This is the back room that we lived in all last winter. It had our kitchen table, a couch, our bed, and accounted for 90% of our living space. I’m so glad those days are past. Now it just has our bed in it which we’ll be moving out shortly. We just made our second major Home Depot purchase and parts of it are stored in this room now. We have doors, windows, flooring, etc. for this part of the house. Now we just need to get it all in!

This is the nearly finished bedroom from phase one. We’ll move our bed in here when we are ready to start gutting that back room. It’s been over a year since I’ve had a bedroom with a door on it or a closet and I’m excited for both.

Thomas’ office in the bedroom. He’s pretty excited about the $15 desk he scored at the thrift store.

My “craft room”. LOL. Ok, it’s not a craft room, but that is all of my crafty stuff on the shelf. Having my craft stuff in the house opposed to out in the barn is a big plus.

Now onto my favorite room. My dear sweet sink-filled kitchen. How did I ever live without a kitchen?

The pantry got a door this week 🙂

I’ve been so glad that we opened the kitchen and living room up to each other. The space is so family friendly.

Where all the blogging magic happens (my computer is in that cabinet).

There you have it! Our fun and gigantic side project.
