Remodeling Preparation


Hi friends, it's be a while. Here's an update.  We're planning a remodel for later this year. These are the potential projects (some may be cut or altered, depending on cost). If you need a refresher on what some of these rooms are/look like (when we bought the house), this post will help you out.

Exterior
  • Shake siding (or something with similar look)
  • Replace all the big panel windows with some smaller windows, move window locations slightly
  • Add front porch
  • Maybe add bay window in front bedroom
  • Grey siding, Green door, cream accents (window frames, etc.)
Exterior inspiration:





Kitchen/Den/Dining renovation
  • Replace 1 window, cover up other 2 so exterior walls can be used for cabinets
  • All new cabinets, most likely painted white or cream
  • Open up dining/den/kitchen into one room
  • Redo ceiling design to remove load-bearing wall, create vaulted ceiling
  • Replace windows, move windows and add some windows
Kitchen inspiration:


Master Bedroom

  • Create new master suite by adding new bathroom/closet to front bedroom (currently the guest bedroom)
  • walk-in closet
  • Double sinks
  • Walk-in shower with seat
  • Move windows
Master Bath Inspiration:

Update guest room back (currently master bath)


  • keep commode
  • re-tile shower and floors
  • new sink base/sink
  • new lighting
  • built-in storage cabinet 
  • White subway tile in shower, dark tile on floors
Inspiration


Throughout the house:

  • Refinish and match Hardwood Floors (yesterday I peeled back the carpet to confirm that we do, in fact, have hardwoods under the other carpeted areas)
  • HVAC – new system, update ductwork
  • New attic insulation
  • Move attic access to hallway
I'm telling y'all about this because I've got LOTS of questions I want to ask the world. So be prepared over the coming weeks to see a lot of posts asking for opinions on floorplans, fixtures, etc.

Nashville people - if you have a GREAT contractor to recommend, please let me know.
