Our living and dining room renovation
With our sunroom halted, we have started to move forward on activities in our combined living and dining room. Here’s a shot of the before:
Our fieldstone fireplace (added in the 70s) and blue wall-to-wall carpeting
While it was still listed, the previous owners had all of the carpet ripped out to expose the original birch floors underneath. They had been covered since the 1960s.
Another shot, facing west (towards the dining area):
West facing window with door to kitchen area.
On our list of things to do:
- Add light fixtures to define the space and add character
- Rip out the fireplace and add something more deco appropriate (and in-scale with the house)
- Refinish floors and add a tile hearth
- Patch and paint walls/trim/etc.
Our plan is to do the majority of work ourselves, hire some help for the fireplace and floor refinishing. We’re hoping to be done in September.
