Our Renovation Progress
When we first bought and moved into our house, we knew we wanted to add on almost immediately. The house was a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom and we knew we needed that second bathroom. In fact, I didn’t even want to come see this house when we were house hunting because 2 bathrooms was a “must have” on my list. But the hubby convinced me and we fell in love with not only the precious house, but the large yard, the tree-lined street and the whole neighborhood vibe. Rather than waiting until we already had a family to fill it up, we decided to get it out of the way and start the renovation project so it would be done by the time our baby came along. Everyone we talked to agreed and said that once the baby comes along, you just won’t find the time or the money to do it. So, earlier this summer we jumped right into the whole renovation/addition process!
What we decided to do was convert the smallest bedroom in the back of our home into a master bathroom and add a master bedroom to the back of that, creating a master suite. The whole project is almost done, which began just 3 months ago. At this point, we are just waiting on some final pieces, including the hardwood floors and closet to be done. We couldn’t be more excited to start moving into our new room so that we can get decorating not only that, but the nursery as well (which will be in the room we are currently using as the master bedroom).
I wanted to share some photos of the whole demo and building process. This has been such a learning opportunity to see all that goes into the construction of homes. We feel so blessed to be able to add our own personal touch to a home we were already in love with from the start. I hope to share more before and after pictures of the house once it is actually complete and decorated! Scroll down for progress photos and captions.
This was one of the very first days. They had torn down most of the back bedroom wall and were about to demolish those trees.
Bobcats in progress tearing down these trees and breaking into the cement walkway like it was butter.
Our contractor and the other workers jokingly referred to Gaston as “the foreman”, because he loved to go check on their progress and get a little attention. I seriously think he is going to miss having them around.
Pouring cement around the foundation…all the steps involved amazed me which you never really know about until you do a remodel.
We have a roof and 4 walls! This is the inside of the bedroom with the closet framed there to the left.
This is the bathroom framed out with the toilet closet on the right and the vanity area on the left. It was so hard to imagine how everything would look at the end, but our contractor was amazing at laying everything out for us.
The roof is being finished here and the walls are being lined, getting ready for stucco. These guys worked at the speed of lightning.
Finishing off the walls in the room… this is a view from the hallway of the master suite and the bathroom is right there to the right.
