Whole home remodel.
We did a whole home remodel starting from the top (popcorn ceiling removal), right to the bottom (we even removed the toilets). We took out everything including some walls, doors, light fixtures, wall paper, tubs, sinks, cabinets, etc.) It took us 12 weeks to complete the project. My husband and I worked at the house ever day and we hired several professionals for specific jobs (electrical, plumbing, railing fabricator, flooring installer). It was a fun project and were able to stay within budget and we kept on schedule. We are delighted with the results and are loving our newly remodeled home. We got all of our ideas for the remodel from HOUZZ.
BEFORE = Stairs and railing.
AFTER - we took out the half walls and installed fabricated stair railings and we replace the foyer light fixture and replace white carpet with wood flooring.
BEFORE - Sunroom
AFTER - Sunroom - we removed the hot tub and all the sliding doors and windows and created a sitting room. This room has the best view in the house. It was a shame that it was virtually unusable for 20 years with a huge hot tub in the middle of it. We painted the old pine ceiling with a rich dark brown.
BEFORE - Living Room
AFTER - Living Room - We replaced the white carpet with tile and removed the wet bar by turning it into a shower for the powder room behind it so that now we have a full bathroom for our guests. We remodeled the stair railings, fireplace and opened up the space between the sunroom and living room by removing all the interior windows and sliding doors.
BEFORE - Fireplace
AFTER - We updated the fireplace by replacing the old black tile and enlarging the step at the bottom. We also installed dimensional tiles in the niches. We then took out the glass doors and old logs and installed modern glass rocks with a stainless steel burning tray.

AFTER - We took out the low ceiling and opened up the wall to make it open concept into the living room. We moved the sink to the new bar area and we built a pantry behind the gas range. We also added gas for the new range.
BEFORE
AFTER - we took out the wall behind the refrigerator and desk and moved the sink to the new island.
BEFORE - Master Bathroom
AFTER - Master Bathroom - it was a complete gut. Too much wall paper and pink! We installed new lights, mirrors, vanities, toilets, shower, etc. etc.

AFTER - Master Bathroom - we moved the position of the shower because before the renovation it was in the same room as the toilet. We now have a larger shower with a bench and the door to the toilet room is beside the shower.
BEFORE - Guest Bathroom - we created a shower in this powder room because on the other side of the wall their was a wet bar so we turned it into a shower and created a full bathroom.
AFTER - Guest Bathroom
BEFORE - Dining room with built in buffet
AFTER - Dining room - we removed the built in buffet to open up the floor plan and we also changed the trey ceiling.
BEFORE - Front Door - we replaced this front door for a taller one with glass.
AFTER - Front Door

Comments (0)Almost 30 years ago my husband and I renovated our now 60 year house by adding a 620 sq foot kitchen/family room to the south side of our house. Over the years, this room has been very well used and we have loved it, but since it never really "functioned" well and the cabinets and counters are showing their age, we have decided now is the time to remodel. The kitchen area of the room is about 12.5' long (east to west) and 25' wide (north to south). The room is sunny and bright. We are both retired and hope to stay in our home for at least another 10 years. We are only 2 people at present, but hopefully our immediate family will grow in size. We also enjoy entertaining and hosting parties. A few considerations: We have a desk in our kitchen and we have a large screen computer on it. The designers have suggested getting rid of the desk, but although we don't use it as our "office" we do like it very much for enjoying our photographs, facetime friends and family (particularly helpful during this pandemic) and of course the odd or frequent google search and checking email. The most used entrance to the kitchen is from the east through the laundry room. If one follows this route (through the north perimeter of the kitchen) it leads to the rest of the house. The kitchen exits to the hall leading to a guest room and bathroom. The other exit(s) are to the formal dining room. French doors on the south lead to a sundeck. The main wall in the "kitchen" area is about only 10' long and it would not be practical to fit the fridge (36" wide, counter deapth), gas cooktop (30" wide), and double wall ovens (30"wide) on ONE wall. Some people have suggested getting a range rather than a cooktop and separate wall ovens. We feel it would be very hard to get used to bending down to take meals out of an oven below the counter and we know this is going to become even trickier as we get older. We have had a large "blank" island for years and we have absolutely loved it: lots of room to bake and prepare and also a lovely area to put out food when entertaining. Some designers have suggested putting the cooktop on the island but we are very reluctant to do this. We don't necessarily like the idea of the cooktop facing a wall, but there is window slightly to the south, so it shouldn't be too bad. We have decided to put a prep sink at the north end of the island. The new island will be about 9' long and 4' wide. Main question: Our main question regards the "prep/work area". Should we include the fridge in this work area? Or, the ovens? In the present plans we have the fridge in this work area, and the ovens on the wall opposite/across the traffic route. We did this because we go to the fridge much more frequently then the ovens, but we are not sure if this is the best choice. It is exceedingly important to us to try and keep the "peanut gallery" out of the prep/work area. So knowing that people go to the fridge more often than the ovens, maybe we should swap the fridge placement with the ovens? We are putting a beverage fridge in the bar area of the kitchen. Well away from the prep/work area. Since we (like everyone) are very very keen to get this right, we would really appreciate your comments. We are only at the design stage, so nothing is of yet written in stone. Thanks so much....See Morehello can anyone help me with whole house colour scheme with paint sha
