First Floor Unfinished

This summer, Mike and I took a little break on our home renovation here in Vermont, but with fall approaching quickly we are thinking about capitalizing on the upcoming indoor weather and getting some big projects done.

We've finished the upstairs overhaul with only one major detail left to fix up, the carpeting! But we are probably going to leave the current carpet in for now, and replace it down the road, or whenever Badger learns how to wipe his feet at the door.

So next up is the main floor. Here is my botchy blue print of the first level of the home.

We will start with the kitchen. We will need new cabinets and countertops to complement the house's brand new fridge, oven/stovetop and dishwasher. I also hope we can get a nice new sink, I'm thinking deep farmhouse style.

We are considering knocking out the wall between the kitchen and dining room, but we think that wall may be necessary to hold up the house, and it has coveted cabinet space. Let's zoom in on the current kitchen layout.

So that's what we are working with. Over the next few weeks we will be picking out a paint color, back splash, cabinets, countertops, lighting, layout... everything! Oh, on a budget of course :)

Wish us luck!
