ALL DONE!!!!

Well, the house is just about done! Just a few finishing touches here and there, but for the most part it is FINITO!!!!! Right now we are working on building a new deck and some desperately needed landscaping, but that should be done in a few weeks too! YIPPEE!!!! In the meantime, here are some pics of the house. I apologize, but they are all in random order cuz I can't get blogger to move them around. Anyway, this has been a year-long project for Mr. BK and I and there was A LOT of blood, sweat and tears along the way, but it was well worth it! I ABSOLUTELY love our "new" house and I hope you do too!


The existing kitchen.
For some reason I CAN'T get this photo to move down. So, this is a pic of our new shower in the remodeled spare bathroom.
The existing spare bathroom.

The old dining room (it's gone now and a spare bedroom is there).


The existing family room (that's the deck behind that wall where our addition was built).




The old eat-in-kitchen (it's gone now and a new dining room is there).



The new ceiling in existing family room. It used to come to a point with a ceiling fan and a skylight. Now we have rope lights up inside that cove.


The ceiling design in the new dining room.



The new pantry (this might be my FAVORITE room).



More ceiling design from the new dining room.




The new mudroom area with a walk-in coat closet (the new laundry room is down the hall on the left and that back door leads out to the deck).





New tile floors in the kitchen and hardwood in the living room.




The entry way to the new dining room (our General Contractor does EXCELLENT finish work).



Cove lighting in the new family room (Hallie LOVES this).




New floors in the entry way.




New walk-in coat closet (another picture above).




The tile design from the hallway in front entrance (see picture above).





The two rooms in the back are part of our addition (that used to be where our deck was).




The new bedroom (used to be our dining room).



The remodeled spare bathroom (connected to the new bedroom).



The new laundry room.




The remodeled fireplace in the existing family room. It used to be ALL brick. A.LOT.OF.BRICK.




The remodeled spare bathroom again (different angle).




The new family room.




The new family room again (different angle).




My new washer and dryer in the laundry room (I spend a lot of time in here).




The remodeled kitchen. The pantry door is where the fridge used to be and the fridge is where our entrance way to the old dining room used to be.



The new dining room.


The remodeled kitchen again (different angle).




And, FINALLY, the new dining room, looking into the new family room (these room are "connected" by that half wall).
WHEW...I'm glad that's all DONE!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous...I mean it! I especially love the fireplace, and all of the special, custom touches. The woodwork around the windows and doors, the lighting, the ceilings...very cool and innovative.

I'm so happy for you that it's all done and now you get to ENJOY! But could I please have your fridge and your washer/dryer? Please? VEEEERRRRYYY NICE! :)

Kimmy, your house is spectacular! After having lived through the building of 2 houses in my childhood I can appreciate how disruptive the last year has been and I'm so glad it's over. The holidays are upon us and you will have a blast decorating your remodeled home for the holidays. So happy for you!
