You probably read that title and thought that meant baby, didn’t you. Although Isla keeps asking for a “chubby brother” (no idea where this came from), I’m talking about our actual house – not my belly.
The real news: We’re renovating!
We’ve gone back and forth between moving and adding on for the better part of 2 years. After running some numbers, looking at the (crazy) housing market, and considering our 5 year plans, it was clear that renovating would is the best option for us.
So, here we are! We finally pulled the trigger last fall and started working with an architect, and it’s been really exciting!
We’re adding a master suite, and a few bumpouts. In the second phase, we’ll be gutting the kitchen, and taking down some walls to make our boxy 1900 layout more open. Seeing the sketches of what our place is going to turn into, makes me so excited – even more so, I’m excited to be a part of this house’s story, leaving it in better shape than we found it. Always be a good steward of your spaces.
The plans are about 60% done – we just got through the initial design phases and are moving on to the construction drawings soon. We’re enjoying the process, and will update here with our progress.
