Lots of progress on our kitchen/family room/studio renovation project! Over the past two weeks, those rooms have been entirely gutted. Have a look . . .
Now the space is down to the studs. A few more studs have to come down, pipes need to be re-routed, and electrical wires moved. Then the demo will be complete.
Below is where my new studio will be. It was once a small office, full bathroom and laundry room. Fortunately, we were able to vault a portion of the ceiling in that room as well as in the kitchen. These areas will be light-filled once skylights are installed.
In order for us to live in our new home during this construction project, we have a temporary kitchen set up in the dining room. The living room is now multi-purpose, housing our comfy family room sectional, TV, dining table, studio storage and my desk. Although it is a bit cozy, we don't mind. If all goes well, by the new year, we'll have a lovely new kitchen, family room and studio. So exciting!

Susan it is looking good! I can't wait to see the finished rooms. I know it is hard to live around all of that because I have been there done that. It will be worth it in the end. Good luck with everything and post when you can please. :)
