I know we dedicate most of this blog to farmhouse renovation, but we do manage to have a lot of fun while we are out there. We bought some kayak's and here are some pictures of Cory and Laurelea's maiden journey down the river.

Fireplace be gone
We had hoped that when the fireplace was exposed that it wouldn't be such a leaner. We loved the idea of having the brick element and thought it would really enhance the space, but our cautionary sides took over and it's gone. As it had been capped there really wasn't much purpose to it, other than aesthetics.
This is now what you see walking into the house from the kitchen front door. With the fireplace gone it really opens up the room. Our contractor will be creating beam supports for the room so that they are completely open. We are really thrilled with how this is taking shape.
Here is another view looking back at the kitchen

The dry wall in the master is going up!
Here is the entry to the loft from the master

Insulation is going in, in the kid's room
This is the ceiling where at one point there was a fire that happened right around the fireplace. I'm curious to see how the contractor will "fix" this?
Seeing the scaffolding on the side of the house really makes this renovation feel real!

Ooooo! Sheetrock! That's exciting! Good call on the fireplace, I think.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a huge undertaking, indeed. I'd understand if you guys may want to engage in some kayaking after all of those renovations! This project is looks overwhelming, but it seems you are already satisfied by the results. After all, the space freed up from the fireplace would certainly be of use. Now, let's see if the entire renovation turns out better than you imagined!
