We had to break away from the renovation to see a little NCAA BBall in Houston! Woot woot. It was fun even though our FGCU boys didn't quite make it there. {{next year?}
I had a super duper hard time trying to put before and after pics together from the same angle. Do you feel sorry for me? Nah.......I'm actually the worst before/after blogger ever. Where's my award?
This is the view coming in from the back hallway.
The old layout had a formal living and formal dining room in front of the house with a wall dividing. Now, the wall is gone and I can see the front doors/windows from any vantage point.
The dogs love their spot in the family room. All the doors on the back side are pivoting. You can open the entire room by sliding them all down to one end (or the other) and stacking them.
View from the back back doors. Wait...I'm thinking we have too many doors.
The dining area. I've always wanted a large table and apparently I eventually always get what I want.
Sadly, it came with cracks in it....not even a discount was offered. LOL!

The Coach made (had made for me) this custom china cabinet. It's mine....ALL MINE!
Are the countertops swoon worthy? Yes. They're even swine worthy. They are quartzite; not to be confused with man-made quartz.
Can you find the dishwasher and garbage cans? It's not easy.... Did you know we are in the kitchen/stone business? Yeah, otherwise this wouldn't be so pretty.
One day I'll post about the details; wall colors, floor choices...more details. I found SO much good info on the 'net that I'd like to also be of help to someone. {hello-porcelain tiled wood planked floors and all the darned Sherwin Williams paint color samples}
Our mudroom/coffee central itself will get it's own post soon. Wait...did someone say coffee?
Happy Friday my friends. I hope life is good in your neighborhood. We're getting used to living in our lovely house and planning a COLLEGE GRADUATION. *sigh* Seriously. I could die from happiness.
XOXO
