foyer redo

 The reno of Sam's room has expanded into his foyer...or maybe it's the 'add-on to be gym' reno that's expanded into the foyer.  My many renos are colliding and merging!  I'll interpret that as a sign that they are coming to completion after 7 years - although I'm not sure I can ever be 'reno-free', I'm just too addicted!


We now have a sliding door in the foyer turning this small dark area into a light-filled open and inviting space with purpose and appeal - I love it - now I just need to add some beautiful decorative touches!

Here's our progress...removing the original door and opening the wall to create a frame...

such a bonus to be working with post and beam construction so only the door frame needs to be built without having to worry about extra beam support...

Having Sam and Ben helping makes the whole job fun...and their strong arms are a pretty big bonus too...

...not so pretty right now...add trim and a view transformation into a gym...

add some trim and a bit of clean-up inside...its getting there - can you see the vision yet?

wow, the beauty of it is starting to come through...with trim and finishing decor touches - I love it already!
I will add updates with the finishing touches soon...but in the meantime I'm cutting holes in the master bedroom wall to add a sliding door and deck to overlook the backyard - so exciting!

have a beautiful week!

downstairs redesign

I’m completely flummoxed by our downstairs layout and features. I feel like I’m going to go crazy trying to figure out the best layout to best use the current elements AND create a beautiful space.

staircase renovation...creating open living space

Remember this scene…my living room a construction zone as I tackled our staircase renovation ? Well, here’s the update!

beautiful imperfections

The rough edges of the bureau draw me closer. The ruts and worn edges under my fingertips are like the groves of a record, replaying our precious stories. Memories flood around me, mixing joy and aching nostalgia… little feet pattering down the hall soft rosy cheeks snuggled against teddies Laughter and warm embraces, music and dancing feet. …passing time. My fingers linger on the imperfections as I savor the precious memories… our life and love resonating in these marks, our history inscribed…our beautiful life… beautiful imperfections have a beautiful week xo shelley
