Renovations!

We closed on our house Wednesday night, and Bran started demo last night. It went from being all put together and move-in ready to a mess! But it's a good thing! He's already torn out the two closets we wanted to get rid of in the living room, and is working on tearing out that wall that makes the kitchen a galley tonight. By tomorrow our living room, dining room, and kitchen should all be one big open space and I can't wait to see it!

Due to the amount of concrete dust and nastiness in the house while they're demoing, I won't have many during pictures (I've been doing my best to stay away - gotta keep myself healthy for this little guy!) but I'm going to try and have Bran snap some tomorrow. Of course we don't have any before photos because we're lame and forgot to take them. But we'll definitely have durings and afters.

In the meantime, check out this beautiful mudroom. It's my current inspiration for the addition off our kitchen:

Isn't that door incredible! And I love the built-in bench. We could totally do this in that room, and I think it would really add to the function of the room. I guess I should let Bran finish with the current renovation first though, huh?
