As of this month, now we have been in our home for 13 years. Wow! The time has flown by! Over the previous few days, every time I’ve taken a break from the demolition of the hallway toilet to show it into our new storage room, I’ve been making an attempt to get my Home Tour web page up to date. It has been actually enjoyable for me to see the entire progress that I’ve made on this home all condensed onto one web page. So, since this month marks the top of our thirteenth 12 months on this home, I assumed it will be enjoyable to do an impromptu home tour in photos.
I actually like ground plans, so in your reference, I’ll embody the present ground plan of our home. There’ll nonetheless be adjustments to come back with the sunroom and the little toilet to the left of the sunroom (which doesn’t have a label), however all the pieces else is now set in stone so far as the format of the home goes.
The thrilling factor for me is that after 13 years on this home, with me working on my own on about many of the reworking and adorning (I’d estimate I’ve performed between 80%-90% myself), this portion of our home will probably be full by the top of the 12 months.
As you now, proper now I’m engaged on the little storage room in our bed room suite. Although it’s a small room, it’s a fairly in depth venture as a result of I’ve determined to take out all the pieces, all the way down to the studs, the ceiling joists, and the subfloor, and redo all of it. After that, I’m going to do a makeover on the breakfast room, and the great factor is that the breakfast room gained’t require any reworking. All of that had been performed for years within the breakfast room, in order that room will simply require some redecorating. And as soon as the breakfast room is completed, all the pieces in pink on the ground plan above will probably be completed for now. In some unspecified time in the future, I do need to refinish the hardwood flooring, however that may wait some time in order that I can take a breather and revel in all of those completed areas.
So with out additional ado, right here’s a fast take a look at a look of the home once we purchased it virtually precisely 13 years in the past. The one exception is the “earlier than” image of my workshop. That workshop wasn’t right here once we purchased the home. We had that constructed about three years in the past. However since I did fairly an in depth makeover on the surface, I included a earlier than image of it as effectively.
And right here’s what all of these areas appear to be right now. I’ve stored all of them in the identical order and the identical format as above.
I really like seeing the entire rooms of our home collectively in a gallery like that. The entire coloration and patterns make me so completely satisfied! However right here’s a greater view of every room. All of those earlier than photos, except my workshop, are what these areas appeared like once we purchased our home in August 2013. And the entire after photos, except the breakfast room, are what these areas appear to be right now. As , I’ve taken loads of the issues from the breakfast room to make use of in different areas of the home, however I didn’t need to muck up the earlier than and after photos with an unpleasant image of what that room really seems like right now. I’ll get it again to a fairly “after” situation as quickly as I’m completed with the storage room.
