Happy Weekend:)
This past week was the first of our home renovation, which will consist of splitting the large upstairs guestroom into two smaller rooms (nursery & guest), the addition of a large dormer, two smaller dormers, the conversion of a laundry room into a mini office and finally, we're adding on a master bedroom closet. Phew.
We've had these renovation plans for a long time now, but with the baby on the way, we've decided to jump in full speed. So, hopefully, all of these renovations will be done just in plenty of time for us to settle in with the new little man (fingers crossed).
We live in a custom-built cape (b. 1996). It's quite charming, but it's bothered us that we were never able to see out the front of the house from the second floor. Plus, the original second floor plan consisted of two very large bedrooms, and was a bit dreary. The first floor has a beautiful open floor plan, with a lot of light, while the second floor was just kind of drab with two cavernous rooms on either end of the dark hallway. By splitting them up, we should be able to add some character (and more space for guests to stay, which we love). The dormers will add more light, though we still hope to maintain the cottage-y & cozy feel that we fell in love with when we purchased the home. More photos to come as the changes progress....
On another note, we've had a very special visitor recently. He's been spotted on three separate occasions (only evenings), literally hanging around outside our family room. He's either drawn to the light or the conversation;). Funny little guy, eh?
I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
xoxo
