Thursday and Friday were very busy at the house this past week. The masons did a ton of work starting with the front and side faces of the porch, below the poured and stamped concrete top.
Walking in the front door of the old house you enter into the dining room and kitchen. The pass through fireplace was bricked in as well as the arch into the new house. A fireplace was located in the same spot when the house was first built so we were happy to honor this part of the past.
The chimney runs up through the center of the house so we get to see it in the upstairs hallway and the loft above the bedrooms. Love it!
This doorway passes through to the new section of the home into the front foyer.
A filled in window in the upstairs guest bedroom. The stone will stay exposed.
We decided to go ahead and frame in the basement. We have a "pool table" area and then there will be an arch into the living room area with a fireplace.
There will be a short hall down to a full bath and nice sized bedroom or office area.
A peek at the back porch with the roof closed in and the sun shining ~ a lovely spot for wine!
And last but not least the front porch on the addition was bricked in. Hoping to get the new roof on next week and then insulation... moving right along!
March is the new July in Wisconsin.
An entire week of sunshine and record breaking temps really helped to dry things out and green things up. Loving the blue sky, bluebells and sunshine!
Since it has dried up around the house, here's a tour of the exterior starting at the front porch. We're anxious to get the columns painted ~ then the porch will "pop."
Master bedroom addition.
Master bedroom fireplace.
Our lovely dirt backyard.
The backside.
The window on the right is the master bedroom, the windows on the main level to the left are the family room addition. The walk out basement is a future project.
Curved porch.
Inside we have more cabinets installed. This is peeking into the laundry room.
Lockers and cabinets over the washer and dryer.
Farm sink.
The front stairs are looking good. The newel posts arrive tomorrow.
The kitchen island is in and a few more white cabinets.
From the hallway into the kitchen.
Bar end of the pantry.
STORAGE in the pantry... upper doors to come.
The kitchen stairwell is shaping up to be gorgeous too.
The dining room is a wood shop these days!
A peek into the master bathroom.
The tile chair rail has begun.
The bookcases in the landing went in. Lighting and top trim has yet to be installed.
The curved tin roof.
View from my studio above the garage ~ swoon! Things are shaping up. Watch for garage doors in the next post... Cheers!
