Lower-level Tour //

At this point, one wall has been removed to create the "new" layout for the lower level and all the sanding of the trim has been done to prepare for paint. It's a little bit of a mess... But you're welcome to take a peek! "Afters" are always more stunning when you have seen "Befores".

Next up on the to-do list is: widening the doorway to the kitchen from the dining room, closing off the doorway from the dining room to the old tiny office space, and removing the rest of the kitchen cabinets (I would reuse the existing cabinets, but with the change of layout, they will no longer work in the space).

It almost feels a little weird to have started and done most of the painting, but let someone else finish, but I'll get over it. ;) Cleaning, rehanging the doors, making the shower more presentable and hanging towel bars again are some of the last touches. For those very observant ones who are wondering about the hole in the wall where the built-in dresser used to be, don't worry. That will be made into a closet, but probably not for a week or so yet.
