Renovations..

Well they are done now aren't they because, well, we are living in a nice newly renovated home! BUT, finally I have found the time to get it together and upload some pictures of the work in progress to get us to this point. These pictures are more towards the final completion of our house. So things are looking pretty nice here! Not really the state we bought the house in - OH MY!!

I will upload pictures of the finished product as soon as I can xox


The Hallway. Fake wooden paneling was remove, floors taken out, re-stumped, and recycled timber oak floor put in. The new floors have not been sanded and polished as yet. Painting has not begun as yet, as well as no power outlets or lighting completed as yet.

Living Room. (Taken from the kitchen end). Hole was punched though the wall and that glass door was put in there, 1920 recycled door we found at a salvage place. Heater taken out, air conditioner taken out. The kitchen was not put in as yet in this picture. Flooring taken out, re-stumped, same as in the hallway. No sanding and polishing as yet here either. No lighting or painting in etc...
Laundry Room. Was the original bathroom. MY GOD THAT WAS UGLY!!! That window was put in, floor tiled, walls completely plastered again. There was a funny little recessed shelving unit, and that was covered over and plastered up.
Bathroom. Was the laundry room and a really weird space. Walls were removed, and the space was opened up. All the fixtures did stay in the same place. Fake wall was added in to hide new plumbing and to recess the mirror cabinet. New everything in the bathroom. Tiles etc...
Window was an exit into our back yard. We had that covered in and a small window was put in. The door is a 1920's recycled timber door we found at a salvage place.
