More work in the Basement Kitchen

I am sorry these are sideways - but it is so cute. Roran helping Grandpa build the pantry!!! Thank you Grandma for the new Drill!!

Almost done Grandpa!


Look Grandpa - I did it!! A new pantry - Uncle Pete and Aunt Britney will be so happy!



And yes - Cache is still in the middle of everything!
















Basement Kitchen in process

The kitchen wall after the electrician and plumber have been here - or a gopher, can't really which. Cache in the middle of everything as usual -

Clay preping for the tile - Clayton tiling. I am too helping - I am taking pictures and handing him tiles!




We opened the entry into the apartment at the base of the stairs - so much better!













Basement Kitchen transformation has begun!

The basement kitchen remodel is one of the first projects we are undertaking. Clayton and I - okay, mostly Clayton, will tile the kitchen floor using two tiles (Clayton's idea which I love!) different color and different size to add a design feel with little extra effort! We are also building a pantry and will be using the range and the dishwasher that are currently in the main kitchen upstairs. And yes, Cache is in the center of everything - even the remodel!


Demo Week



We have demo'd walls, pulled out tile floors, carpet and old wood floors. No one who has been in the home in the past will recognize it now! We have also added a sidewalk up to the front door and planting beds. We have moved our lanterns to the corner of hte new house and wow - we are clipping right along!



Sorry it is sideways - but this is Roran helping grandpa build the new pantry in the basement kitchen! Love the new Fischer Price drill!!

Master/Guest Room Wallpaper

I am going to wallpaper the wall the bed is on in the wallpaper below. It is a pretty red with a bit of a texture to it.
The rug below the bed has this same color red stripe in it.

8 Feet More in the Kitchen!!

I have decided to put the upstairs laundry room into the master bedroom bathroom area and take out the laundry room on the main floor all together. We are adding a laundry room in a large utility room in the basement for Brigham and gusts to use. The great thing about this change is not only having the washer and dryer in my room - which I am going to love - but I can now add 8 feet to my Kitchen!!! I was also able to add a large corner pantry like the one I have in my existing Kitchen. I will upload the Kitchen design as soon as I can turn the pictures into a tif file instead of the current pdf.

New Master Bedroom Closet

What a great idea - stack-able laundry in the closet. I wonder what would happen if I take out the upstairs laundry and gain about 8 more feet in the kitchen. Then since Dan and I are the only ones on the main level, put the stack-able laundry in our closet and we will still have the nice size laundry downstairs for Brigham and guests. I am going to graph this and see what it will be like. A huge kitchen and laundry in our room - sounds perfect!!!
