After months and months of ugly stud walls, old lath boards and bulging insulation, it's starting to look like a house again! We passed all our rough-in and insulation inspections and started buttoning things up.
The drywall always unifies the spaces and brings the house to life. And it allows us to get a good look at the Before and after Aspects of the house. Honestly, I'm loving how it's coming together!
A big thing for me are 'lines of sight'. The lines of sight were limited when we first bought the house, but by opening it up a bit, suddenly you can see from one end of the house to the other. Case in point- as you stand at the entrance to the living room, now you can see through the dining room and out through the sunporch to the backyard. That makes a huge difference in how the house looks and feels. (BTW - the kitchen cabinets have been delivered, that's the huge pile of boxes that you see!).

The dining room is a great place to see how much has changed. This was the room with 3 different ceilings. By tearing them all out, we've gained almost 18" of ceiling height. And we got rid of the odd glider window and are replacing it was an antique one which will look so much better.
The new windows and bright white walls are making a huge difference in this front bedroom.

And the primary suite is looking so much bigger with all the walls patched and painted!
With this big milestone complete, we're ready to move forward with flooring. After that comes the fun stuff - all the beautiful trim work we have planned. Stay tuned!
Can't wait to see what comes next!
