I wanted to show you the progress on our wood floors.
We have decided to go ahead and install the wood floors in our den while the house is upside down.
And from the comments on yesterday’s post, all of you agree that we should “Just Do It!”
Here is a picture of how our kitchen leads into our den….
You can see the paint color I have chosen for the kitchen above the doorway.
I’ll share that soon! ![]()
The wall in the picture below is the one we have started to tear down.
Directly behind that wall is our new staircase.
We do not want to take the whole wall down because the addition is not insulated, so Cy just tore out the bottom of the wall to make room for the new flooring.
The door leading into that room will be gone too. Tearing that part of the wall down will make that space feel soooo much more open!
The door to our bedroom and the door to our bathroom will be taken out and covered with a wall.
See that hole in the wall on the right?
That will section of the wall will be coming down too!
(Of course, neither of these walls are “load bearing” walls.)
I am considering painting our fireplace.
What do you think about that?!
I am going to see what it looks like first with our new floors and new wall color before I decide.
We’ll see…
Since we have no furniture in the kitchen, and no furniture in our den, it has made eating quite interesting at our house.
Here is what breakfast looked like this morning…
My poor boys. ![]()
As crazy as it may be at our house, life is made of precious moments like these.
I am planning on shooting a video today of our addition. I will hopefully share it tomorrow!
Have a blessed day!
