Progress

We went over to the house today (like we do everyday, who am I kidding!) and the amount of progress they have made is UNREAL.  Almost every wall on every floor is gone, all of our kitchen cabinets are sitting in the middle of our kitchen and our garage is a graveyard of granite counter tops.  The next big step, which we should get more clarity on tomorrow, is ripping out the hardwoods and starting to remove the roof.  As some of you know, last winter we had hardwood floors installed on our second floor and the first floor sanded and refinished to a dark stain throughout the house.  I LOVED our floors, but I know they will be just as nice when we move back in.

Back to the roof--So basically in a nut shell once this is done you will stand on our second floor and see nothing but sky.  Personally, I can't wait for this day.  Once this day arrives that means we are starting the journey forward versus the tear down road we are currently on.  I am so excited for the process of rebuilding this house that my Pinterest boards are on fire (no pun intended!).

Here are some photos to some ideas I have...would love and welcome opinions :)

I am sort of in love with this refrigerator, but if I saw correctly it is a 14K price tag...that might be pushing it :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pedestal Soaking Tub...I think I might throw caution to the wind on this one!

We are sticking with the white cabinets we had before, but are enlarging the kitchen, which will require a larger island.  I think I am digging the different color island idea

I like this light and I am thinking two of these over the kitchen island.  We previously had two glass lights Urn style pendants from Pottery Barn---great lights, but to clean them required two people and the patience of saints!

I am sort of in love with herringbone floors...I am thinking Laundry Room and then Chris says, "Megan, it is a Laundry Room!"  Can someone remind him that we did have a crystal chandelier and two poster sized photos of Madeline in the laundry room?!?

I love this wallpaper and they make it in a color called Alabaster which is really subtle.  I intended to do this before all of this happened, so I think now might be the time :)

I am sure there will be MANY more ideas floating around over the next couple of months.

Let the fun begin!
