RenovationsRenovation Progress May 22, 2015Things are really progressing over at The Buffalo Bungalow! All of the new layout and rooms are framed out, which is crazy to see it coming together! Sheetrock is starting today on the existing house, so it’s really going to look crazy then! If you missed our house befores, the full floor plan post, and the first round of demolition progress, you should check those out first for these to make sense. For reference, here’s the floor plan we’re working towards. I know I’ve posted the new floor plan a thousand times, but it helps to see if for reference when I share updates 🙂 This is the old front door that is now framed out to be a matching window with the one to the right of it. And this is where the new front door will go above. It’s framed out and just waiting on the new door to be inserted. This below is the view from the new front door. The mudroom area will go to the left and you can see the framed out wall to the right. This cased opening will give a view to the back of the house. Here’s the view of that opening from the other side. The doorway to the left of this opening goes into the new laundry. To the left of that laundry door, you can see the current exterior door. That will be the door into our new master suite that will be added. To the left of that master door will be our new dining area. It is only 8 feet wide, so the dining room will continue some into the new addition on the back of the house. Speaking of the addition, I can’t wait for it to start! The city is saying we should have permits in a week or so, so that will be starting really soon! I cannot wait for that to break ground. That’s when this is really going to get crazy! I’ll share some progress shots next week with all of this sheet rocked! I can’t wait to see it come together! Happy Friday, friends! *** Make sure you subscribe to posts (by clicking below), so that you don’t miss any of this new project! The Buffalo Bungalow is going to be good!

Wendy says May 22, 2015 at 4:53 pm The transformation this house is undergoing is amazing. I hope you don’t mind but I would like to give one little suggestion. I noticed that the door to your husband’s closet enters from the bedroom. Have you thought about placing it in the bathroom instead? Since yours is in there, it would look more consistent and if he gets up before you, you won’t be woken up by the light or noise. Our closet is in our bathroom and it is really nice that either me or my husband can get ready without disturbing the other. Reply
Lindsay says May 27, 2015 at 8:59 am Wendy, this is a fantastic suggestion and I am really trying to convince him of that! For some reason, he doesn’t want it there, but we’ll see 🙂 Reply
