Update front of house, living room, and upstairs

Below are the sides of the open area at the top of the stairs...once closets...now game areas.


Next is the change in the landing. Christy has been hard at work painting...

The living room...we are debating on painting the trim or clear coating it...The wood is poplar so it has different shades of brown and green.

John has been knocking out the painting. This is the first coat. Check out the window trim on the front porch. This is what all of it should look like. I have to finish replacing the soffitt supports.

PAINT!!!

So the painting continues. The only rooms let that have some sanding and finishing to be done are the master bead and bath, hall, and dining room. The laundry is primed.
Herearethe updated pictures from a couple rooms.
Living room and what used to be the dining room...now the reading room...

Second is the kitchen...you can see where the cabinets go...

More changes...

Today, I made some repairs around the chimney so John could get his part in that area. I also removed the roof over the dormer window...wow that thing was heavy...lol...just a spur of the moment decision...we had always talked about doing it so decided today was the day we'd see how it worked out.

Below are shots from the spare room...

Christy worked on Jonathan's room...one wall left.

Updates....long awaited pictures

First we will start with Jace's room...before to today...

Then an update on the landing and open area...(now primed as shown but the ceiling (of the landing) was painted today...not in picture)


Jon's room...started painting..ceiling is finished and fan hung...

Spare room...we kept three walls and the ceiling the old style...painted the front wall...

Hall Bathroom...painted...will add wainscoting as well...

No paint but here is another drastic change...the former pantry is now our laundry room...we put the old kitchen cabinets in here for pantry storage as well as a place to fold clothes...

The final picture for today is before and update of the right side of the house...the painter has found the right moves to make it look amazing!

More to come...
