The Renovations Begin


Like I mentioned, our first love nest needs a LOT of work! It is a tiny three bedroom, one and a half bath with outdated bathrooms, and dingy, half-finished basement, tiny closets, and peeling paint. Other than the location, the potential for renovation is probably the thing that excited us the most about the Monroe house. Gus wanted a "project", but I'm afraid he may have gotten more than he bargained for!

We have a week and a half before we have to be out of our condo, so the plan for phase one includes gutting both bathrooms, getting rid of a hallway, moving the door to the front bedroom and the half bath, building a master bath, and finishing half of the attic, which Gus is going to turn into the closet of my dreams :) We also need to pain the entire interior of the house and sand and refinish the wood floors.

Seems like a bit too much to fit into the two week time frame we are working with, but Gus seems confident he can make it happen. Here are a few of our "before" pictures...
