So, back in September, we started cleaning it out and removing the bar and cooking area.
boxing up about 4000 books to donate….
and doing a little painting….
Cleaning up and hanging a few curtains to make it useable, for now (in September)…..
Sorry, all of the previous photos were taken by my phone, because I didn’t think about taking pictures ahead of time!
Here is our progress as of the last couple months…
A sitting area. Previously, depending on the session I had planned, I would move it to different spaces because this area and the bathroom were not useable. There is the fully finished bathroom that I just adore as well, hiding in the back corner.
Scored the old couches at an auction, but that is for another post 😉
No more hiding behind a backdrop to change your clothes….
and my newest love….my desk…refinished by Heidi at Lily Field Furniture. I have some grand ideas for her expertise 😉
And finally, this weekend we decided to tear into the wall at the top of the stairs. I was getting tired of looking at that old yellow painted paneling and I didn’t want to just paint it again since I knew there was brick back there, wink wink 🙂
We have a lot more planned but it will take several years to complete I’m sure. Thanks for being patient while we are under construction!
Keep checking back for more updates!
