Remember these rooms?

Remember this?

This is the entry, to the house 

...Well, that area now looks like this...

The new entry will now be an office area, (or if I lived here) the most perfect room on the planet to drink coffee! Eventually I'll show you the room from the opposite direction. Just beyond that opening is a new bedroom! And to the Left is the kitchen.

Take a look at the progress of the kitchen over the last few weeks...

If you can't already tell, here are a few details about that progress: 

I took the entire house down to the studs - added all new windows AND insulation! I've always wondered why I was SO COLD in my old (rental) on Brentwood...this was why! It cost me a little over $500 to get the walls insulated, and it'll be another $400 to have insulation run in the attic. In my opinion, this was the BEST money spent on the house. With insulation, and new windows this little house will be nice and warm this winter! And hopefully the new buyer (or renter) will appreciate these upgrades...

If someone asked, or was wondering - I wasn't planning on windows or insulation. I'm trying to document not only for myself, but for those interested in budgeting for a remodel. Turns out these old homes (basically anything built before 1950 and most likely before 1970 - in walls)

Thankfully I was able to give all of the old windows to a very nice guy who needed the windows (for parts) as he is restoring a 1920's home!

Next up: the walls will be textured and primed. 

Then on to flooring! And then Paint! (all of my favorite parts)
