The fun part finally begins!

Paint colour options....went with ultra white, Swiss Coffee and Mitsaya.  Light purchased for master bedroom, bed for master bed (yum!), new couch!

Tear down before the build-up.

Trip to the lumber yard and the addition of our new family member...the orange and black thing!

BIG BIG Update!

So....we've demo-ed everything!!! All we have left is a shell:

Our NEW linen closet that didn't exist before...now we have to buy a wardrobe for the bedroom where we stole the space from.

The inside of the closet to be installed....

The demo-ed kitchen- the new one will be installed Wednesday, May 19th.  Rolf did the demo in the kitchen and since this picture was taken, the plumbers have been in and re-piped for our new appliances. ;-)

The to-be breakfast nook.... bye bye mud room!

The to-be powder room, half-bathroom....

 (was a full bathroom)

Molding and Baseboards are in!

Primer On The Inside

So...on Friday, Isaac and Rolf did one coat of primer in the full interior of the house....it was really nice to see those burgundy and bright blue walls disappear! We won't miss them at all.  Yesterday, Graham and Adam put up almost all the baseboards and molding in the house...I'll post pictures of that later.  We had a Realtor come to inspect the property yesterday in anticipation of our appraisal on Wednesday...and he happily reported that our house could be sold for $150,000 more than we bought it for! This was brilliant news to our ears, because with all the renovations completed, it means we've made a considerable amount of money if we were to sell it....which we're not! I hope the Appraiser on Wed agrees!  Demolition is on Thursday (of kitchen and bathrooms)!  Onwards and upwards....
