For those of you having a hard time picturing the lay-out of the house, I thought it might be helpful to post the architect drawings.

I don’t know if you can tell, but I LOVE home remodels.  I love the thought process behind taking something not so great and turning it into something wonderful.

Our house was a basic rectangle, center hall colonial

This is the first floor, after. Here you can see where we added the new family room where the screened porch had been, and the new porch was added.  A few changes were made after these prints were made- we decided not to do the peninsula in the kitchen, added the dog shower, moved the stove, etc

Here is the 2nd floor.  Blake’s old room became our master bath.  The house stayed 4 bedrooms, even though we added another one.  We changed a few things here too, the entrance to the master bedroom closet was moved to the little hallway by the master bathroom door so we would have more wall space for a dresser.  We took out the window in the bathroom in the hall because it looked a little weird (too small).  That bathroom used to have a really big window but when we added the new master bedroom it became a wall.

We also left the old master bathroom alone, so Austin has his own bathroom.  The blueprints shows it as a closet.

This is what the master looked like before.  It was all pink.

It was one giant room, walk-in closet on the right (which is now part of laundry room) and bathroom.

Here is the other closet in the room that stayed.

I won’t post the pictures of this how this room looks now since I posted them not too long ago (it’s Austin’s Ohio State room).  If you want to see the after, go here.

    I’m loving your posts about your house! I’m in the process of redoing my bedroom but I’m stuck on choosing the right color. I’m thinking green but don’t know which shade I want. Your posts are really inspiring me to try new things around the house!

    Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I can’t believe Austin changed the pink into Ohio State! That was the previous owners choice, right?

    I have so enjoyed seeing your home. It is beautiful, and real. It looks so comfortable and warm. Thank you for sharing it with us. I also thank you for sharing Eva! She is so very cute. How do you get anything done? I would want to play with her all day.
