Here is a little of the promised picspam for jereeza and tofty and aubrem, and everyone else who is curious about our remodel project. (catbear, you would not recognize the place!) Pictures are links to bigger pictures on flickr.

Yesterday we moved our bed and dresser into our new upstairs bedroom yay! And last night we slept there for the very first time.


Darn, you can't see any of the stairs. But I lovingly stained and polyurethaned all the stairs and the stair rail and the posts and the balusters and OMG it took FOREVER. Also all the window and door trim you see. The double doors go to a deck, the single door on the east goes to nothing at the moment, but we are hoping to put a small wrought-iron balconet out there.

I also want to show off our gorgeous upstairs bathroom (which is around the corner ahead and to the right in the left picture above). I designed the shower tiling pattern and our tile guy did it. The frameless shower enclosure cost way too much. The mirror's from Mexico.



Things are not quite finished yet, but you can see they are getting there!

I'm pretty sure I have some before photos of the kitchen. The stairs of course used to be zero before. But I might have a photo of the raw plywood and OSB stairway. (Actually, they are not completed yet - when I look to the side from my desk I see the raw edge that has not yet been covered with trim.)

And, you have so many possibilities ahead of you now! Not that actually doing home renovation is fun - well, parts of it are fun, but it is a lot of work. Bask in your home ownership for a while first.
