Let's Catch Up

Sorry to all of our "fans" out there! I guess it is about time that we do a status report around here. Let's catch-up shall we?

The hubs and I have been busy, busy, busy tearing the house apart. We have our plan of action together and we are on the fast track to moving in. We would like to be in our new digs at the end of the month. Now we just need to pray that everything goes smoothly and that we can accomplish this grandiose task. Please pray! :)

So after this post, you may be wondering about the layout changes we referred to. We used floorplanner again to show you what our thoughts are. So here is the original house layout:

And here is what we would like it to look like in the end: (please note that the master bedroom is actually above the living room on the second floor)

You will notice that we are planning on adding on a bit. Here is a brief list of what we would like to do.

1. Make the kitchen bigger by bumping out the left wall to be even with the sun porch and the back wall to be even with the entryway into the house. 
2. Extend out the back entryway and add on a laundry room/entrance way. 
3. Add on to the guest bedroom making it into a office area.
4. Make the sun porch and the dining room into one room. 
5. Knock down the walls upstairs and make one big master bedroom. (We will eventually be adding on to the second story, but right now we aren't sure what that will look like.It will definitely include another bathroom and two more bedrooms though.)

So that is what we are working on now. We have decided that we want to complete the master bedroom, gut and renovate the bathroom, and paint everything before we move in. Its a lot of work, but we are up for the task!

Want to see what we have done so far? Come back tomorrow for some progress pictures!
