We moved into the downstairs this month!

So its been a little while since our last post.  Our biggest news is that we have finally moved into our downstairs apartment!! We are so happy to be able to finally enjoy our hard work for the last couple of years. Our downstairs just needs a little interior decoration now and the upstairs is in the process of getting ready for renters. Here are a few pictures of our progress from the last few weeks....

Ben and Sarah having fun at the park in Dallas! 

These are the new 100 year old doors salvaged from another old house. Thanks Steve and Laura!!
We installed doors like this in our master and guest bedrooms. They are even complete with vintage hardware. The doors are primed, but still need a fresh coat of white paint and they are done.

Our living room from the kitchen. Remember we found that chimney behind drywall, added the framed opening with stained glass, replaced the window on the right,  added the double window on the left, raised the ceiling 18", added the niche, leveled the floor joists, new subfloor / hardwood, and more... wow! 

This is a TV niche we formed out of the an old cavity that backs up to the shower. The TV is mounted on a bracket that can swivel and tilt so we can see it from anywhere in the room. We even took time to hide the wires from the TV cabinet to the TV. Don't look too hard here... those are bunny ears! Still saving for cable one day. We are just happy our TV and new vintage media cabinet fits just right.

Our new sofa and living room...

 

My favorite spot to hang out now..

Our new master bedroom.. We have some interior decoration to do in here for sure.

That's it for now in pictures. We do have the bathroom DONE as well, but are waiting on pictures. The back porch is currently getting painted and the railings are being installed, the upstairs is now also in final renovation mode so we can get it rented soon. Stay tuned for more updates as we complete the last of the major renovations... 

Thanks again to all of our family and friends for your help and support over the past couple of years.
