My husband and I got married in 2004 and we built our house at the same time that we were planning our wedding. This is our old house. So we sold it in 2007 and bought a older house so he would have an office to work out of (beside the house) and we remodeled (well gut) the older house and made it our own.



PART I

In this house it had a smaller kitchen so we tore out a wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room and made it all into the kitchen. We put down new hardwoods, custom cabinets, granite countertops, all new hardware, canned lights, and all new appliances. There is nothing original left from the old kitchen but the frame. This is the before and after.


















Since we tore down the original wall separating the kitchen from the dining room we decided to move the dining room over to the front of the house wher the formal "living room" used to be. We knew we had a very large den and a formal living room would not be used. We created a cased opening to separate the kitchen from the dining room and put columns into the dining room and also remodeled the foyer. We had the hardwoods refinished, had plantation shutters put all along the front of the house, painted this room as well as the kitchen, changed all the hardware, changed the front door, and changed all the lighting.
