And it has begun! We finally took the plunge and are about to start the renovations on the house to give the kids their own bedroom.
We have a small house and a large lot, and a very limited budget. While it's true that we do have the room to build an addition on the back of the house, we don't have the budget to be digging out a foundation and there is nowhere that it makes sense to add a bedroom - it would be either off the dining room, or off the back door/basement stairs/kitchen (unless we want to get into changing other rooms around and doing a massive renovation - with two little kids and both of us working by then - no thanks!).
I wanted to get some before and after pictures for you. But while I was out last night, my husband completely emptied the dining room and moved the table and chairs into the living room. Before I could get pictures. So you will have to settle for 'in progress' pictures (as soon as I take them).
Renovation plan:
- build bedroom for C
- rearrange/redo bedroom for P (once her brother is moved out of her room she will have more space and we will be able to rearrange her room again)
- paint (new) living room/dining room, hallway, entryway
- rearrange/decorate the new combined living/dining room
- redo bathroom (nothing major)
- front porch
- front yard
- back yard (veggie bed, sandbox, fairy garden, veggie pots)
