Back again with a new project!

We've recovered from the year plus of remodeling the house and from all the planning for Kelly and Dan's wedding.  Ready now for a new project - The Basement. That's no April Fools joke!!

The basement is currently vintage knotty pine from the '60s but like most basements it is a catch-all.  Once I get some of the clutter cleared out, I'll take some "Before" pictures.

Our inspiration for decorating is our recent trip to Napa Valley.  We loved this candle wall we saw at Trinchero Napa Valley. We also hope to create a wine cellar which Dan will help stock. :)


Here are some ideas I've found online.

I like the brick boveda ceiling.

House Tour


We are getting there....Whew! I'll take you on a tour and show you what we have accomplished since beginning this project in February! Enter the front door, which we replaced. We also added the front porch and covered the old concrete steps with bluestone.

Foyer and new stairs.


We moved the location from the great room and duplicated the look of the original.

By moving the stairs, we were able to open the kitchen to the great room. I now enjoy a great view of the lake from the kitchen.

We totally remodeled the kitchen, from the coffered ceiling to the hardwood floor.



Bar area


We made what had been the master bedroom into a den and also opened it to the great room. (The master bedroom and bath are now upstairs but I need to take some more pictures for a future post. ) Two guest bedrooms are also on the main level and two bathrooms.






End of first floor tour. Stay tuned for more.......

More progress.....which means WORK!

Yes, we're still at it - mostly outdoor projects.
