This renovation project has been keeping me busy for the last few weeks and I finally got to cut some wood for cabinets today.
My parents moved into this house two years ago. I painted the tired looking cabinets from the 50's, added new pulls and hinges, and threw some tile down on the pepto pink laminate countertop. It was a temporary fix with the intentions of doing this remodel now. They wanted new windows, and to cathedral the ceiling in the family room, but the 2x4 truss roof made that impossible.
Family room: Rip off the roof, raise plate height, build new roof with dormer, new collar ties, install bigger windows and sliding door.
Kitchen and breakfast nook, Rip off everything out, build new roof over old roof, rip off old roof from inside, cathedral ceiling, install windows, sliding doors, build new cabinets and concrete countertops
Family room:
Plate height on this side stayed the same, dormer with 3 windows added
Raised plate height to allow for transoms over windows and sliding door. Staining poplar timber collar ties
Kitchen before:
breakfast nook area
The old roof leaked and had structural issues. New Roof, high ceiling
windows where the sink used to live
sliding doors in breakfast nook
space for built in pantry and cabinets
