The remodel.

We finally realized our dream to own a beach house. But it's a big project as we have decided to remodel the entire house. It has a great location, wonderful ocean views and "great bones" but we want to make it "our own".

I have a few more photos to post. As we are three weeks from completion there are workmen in almost every room of the house. The wood floors are being installed, the painters are painting the entire interior, the trim and moulding on the doors and windows are done and the marble tile in the bathrooms is almost complete.

Later this week we should have a new fireplace and the trim and moulding on the kitchen cabinets will be finished. Next week the floors should be finished, bathrooms finished and vanities and countertops installed, kitchen countertop added. Plus I think we will have a new bannister. So I am not kidding when I say a lot is happening.

Here are a few "before and after" photos. I am in Virginia this week teaching a workshop so I don't have too many new photos. I should have a lot more when I get back this weekend. I can't wait to see all of the progress!

I decided we needed to replace the front door. What a difference. I haven't decidded what color to paint it as we aren't doing exterior renovation until next year.

AFTER
Although my iphone photo isn't very good, the marble tile in the bathrooms is going to make a HUGE difference in both bathrooms. I moved the height of the shower up by over a foot to accomodate our "tall" family. 
All of the interior doors were replaced with 5-panel doors and new moulding and trim. I know it's minor but what a difference! They will of course look a lot better with paint!

wow, what a difference. Those interior door changes are anything but minor. That's a change you'll enjoy everyday.

Perfect for use around the house. I’ve used it in the bathroom, kitchen, and basement with great results.

    I am a mom, wife, artist and someone always looking for a "new project". According to my husband, this might be my biggest "project" yet.
