Step 6: Interior Framing

July 2018

Next, they framed in the new walls for the new downstairs master bedroom and bath (the old downstairs bedroom #1 and #2) and the new kitchen and mudroom (the addition).

NEW DOWNSTAIRS MASTER SUITE

Standing in the dining area, looking into the master bedroom, the master bathroom is on your right, with a separate entrance from the dining area for guests and a separate entrance from the bedroom. There is also a closet on the left next to the water heater (this basically creates a very small "hallway" here) and a linen closet beside the bathroom from this angle (entry from the bedroom) and a walk in closet behind the bathroom from this angle (entry from the bedroom).


View from the office through to the master bedroom and beyond, from left - the walk-in closet, the linen-closet, and the door to the master bath.


Closer up, from the bedroom, view of the walk-in closet (left), linen closet (middle) and bathroom (right) with an entry from the bedroom (right) and one from the living/dining room (far right, half out of the picture).



The small closet in the small hallway leading from the living/dining room to the master bedroom. 


Looking from the kitchen addition into the dining/living room, with the new walls on the right and the new windows on the left. 



KITCHEN

This is the kitchen, standing in the dining room looking into the kitchen. It's hard to tell because I took it at kind of an angle to try to avoid the plumbing that is still in the middle of the dining room.


This is the view of the kitchen, standing in the mudroom, looking through the wall. Right now, it's just a big open space. Stay tuned!



MUDROOM

This is the view from the kitchen, looking through the wall into the mudroom. Again, just a blank canvas right now.



LIVING/DINING ROOM

And again, just wanted to get a good shot of all of those beautiful windows that will overlook the lake. Again, ignore the plumbing in the middle of the space.


It's startin' to get real, y'all!

Intro

My parents bought this place in 1979. A small fishing cabin, short on charm but big on family fun. view from the lake view from the lake view from the road - it looks like all car port from here! We spent countless weekends and summers out here as kids - swimming, catching frogs, playing Olympics, learning to water ski, playing baseball, fishing, playing excessively loud games of PIT... So many memories. This is my favorite random porch picture because it shows exactly what I remember about the cabin - family, fun, laughter, and love. That's me in the middle with the blonde braids, holding my baby cousin, Leigh. In the 80s, my grandpa put on a second story so we had even more space for family fun... But after we all grew up, the house just kind of sat there, and accumulated stuff. I'm not kidding. See photographic evidence below. Every time a relative passed away, the stuff no one wanted to get rid of went here. It basically...

Step 1: Cleaning Out

Image
March 2018 My husband, my parents, and I - and the kids, too - spent almost a month cleaning out the house before any of the renovations even started. We found all kinds of family memorabilia, lots of trash (over 20 van loads to the dump!), and many interesting random things, including a cow head skeleton that, strangely, the guy who cut down the trees asked if he could have. Ooohhh-kay. We donated a lot of furniture, stored even more, and threw out pounds and pounds of trash. DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM #1 This room will be combined with Bedroom #2 to become the new Downstairs Master Bedroom/Bath.  This was the hardest room to get the furniture out of because it was packed in there so tight. Our construction crew had to disassemble the bunkbeds to even fit them out through the door. Bet you can't even see that there are bunkbeds in there! In this room was: a set of bunkbeds with built in dresser, a vanity, a wardrobe, another dresser, and an entire four pie...
