Let's open this bad boy up!

One of our visions for the house was to create an open floor plan. This we thought might not be achievable for a few years, but with Joe the House Doctor's help, we have opened up the main level! It's a little overwhelming as it now appears to much bigger than it was originally, but we are very pleased with the progress. Over the last few weeks Joe also has made a lot of progress on the two bedrooms upstairs and the loft off of the master is almost complete.

Here is what the dining room looked like when we purchased it!

 Here it is now, I love all the exposed old log cabin!

This is the old staircase.

Progress is being made and it's so helpful to look back at some of our first pictures of the house and remind ourselves how far we have come! There is still a lot more work to do before we are through this phase and we will be certain to continue to update as things progress.
