We talked with our contractor this week, and he is 95% sure that our project will not break ground until Spring of 2019. It’s a little sad to have to wait through another winter, but we are looking on the bright side and realizing that this extra time will allow us to make sure everything…

I have to say, I’m pretty proud of myself. Just two weeks after my big post regarding all the projects I want to accomplish, I was able to check one of them off of the list, and start two more! There are projects on the list that range from minor to major, and I had…
Around here, we have been…. CELEBRATING with family. The fourth of July holiday has always been a special one for my family. Growing up, it was tradition to visit my grandparents and take in all of the small town festivities – parades with lots of candy, sparklers, and of course a ton of barbecued food….

With the floor space distance between entry to living room and kitchen & since you already have a partition built in to seperate the living room from the entry I would not add more structure via beams as this in my opinion takes away the ‘open’ feeling .& make the area seem ‘tight’ . Instead , by painting the ceiling white or a soft yellow , this would make the area appear larger . The yellow would compliment the other white & wood colors in the kitchen. Good luck with your decision & I am looking forward to reading opinions of others & their reasons for their choices . This site is definitely a learning tool for me?
