Almost there!

It has been crazy/busy the past few weeks, so out cabin visits were infrequent “pit-stops” to drop off items that our contractor needed.  And secretly, I think the contractor was glad not to have us messing around with things, while in the middle of his many projects. 

The progress is truly amazing!  Joe was able to stop by and take a few pictures last weekend.  We are planning to head up this weekend and start to get things in order!  We are at the point of just having a few smaller projects that can be done post “move-in.”

The before/after transformation is almost unbelievable – and while there were some bumps-in-the-road (what remodel doesn’t have unexpected issues?) we are thrilled with the way it has turned out!  The contractor has done a wonderful job, and took time on the little things, which we so appreciated.  (He was aware of the family-history story, and wanted to get it right for us.)

We will get some pictures, once things are all settled, and in a more final state, but wanted to share these initial images.  Very cool!

I am not sure what my favorite part is – so many things are warming my heart:

• The floor refinish was a complete “WOW!”  That is the original flooring that my great-grandfather installed!  It is beautiful! (Thank you, MOM!)
• I love the farmhouse sink, and the way it turned out with the cabinets.
• I also love the subway tile!
• The light in the dining room:  I can just imagine hanging out, playing games, or talking with friends and family under its glow.

Before and After!
