This house has really has provided us with some huge projects - the most recent being our upstairs bathroom. The bathroom was previously 3 seperate spaces - a hallway that was carpeted with a kitchen sink and a closet in it, a small 3 piece bathroom with a sloped ceiling, and a "+1 bedroom" that was behind the bathroom that had no closet and glittered green lenolium tiles. Needless to say - we ripped it all down .......no more lathe, or plaster, no more insulation ... it is amazing!
The guys had to replace some old rotted dormers and we'll get new windows in a few weeks for those. Once they get installed I will really start to see the progress - literally, it is pit black in there right now because the windows are boarded up! Even during day light right now we need work lights to see anything!
One of the best discoveries thus far was the unveiling of the exterior brick wall! The bathroom is part of a newer addition, so the house used to end there .... some old owners opened up a window into a door and thus the new bathroom! I am hoping to leave the section of brick exposed to highlight the beautiful old brick, but I don't know if I will win that battle.
Anyhow, I am SUPER excited for this reno, it is the biggest reno project thus far (the basement being our biggest clean up job, but nothing to do with reno/design)..... We already have the travertine floor tiles and now we need to find a WHOLE lot of other pieces to bring this room together! I am keeping pictures and will eventually do a before-mid-after series!
