Sometime in the next 2 weeks we’ll be introducing our third little one into the family!
I thought it would be nice to share another little peek and update of our home renovation progress before things might get even crazier in our household.
Have a peek at the layer by layer changes of our front mudroom/foyer:

Progress
Down came the wallpaper.
The super dry, brittle, barn wood planks are no more.
Surprise! The addition was attached directly to the existing structure.
The barn wood planks were nailed directly over the original wood siding.
New drywall was hung where the planks were removed and a new door (with window!) was installed.
Lots of light is now able to reach the family room since the french doors were moved from the living room to the space between the mud room and family room.

With new trim and a coat of paint the mud room is actually looking like a proper entryway!
Hopefully, the first floor will be finished, cleaned up, and ready for use soon. Stay tuned!
That looks great!! So much lighter and brighter…love your new door too!
Wonderful! Hope these next couple of weeks fly by 🙂
Congratulations! Good luck!
The mudroom looks much better but oh my taking all that wallpaper down must have been horrible! Will you be putting benches or storage in there? I hope the next couple of weeks go by quickly for you.
all those original details are just awesome!
You are making great progress! Can't wait to meet the newest member of the family. Now sit back and prop up your feet while you still can!
I always get excited when you post new updates! Your entry is looking great–love how bright it is now! Can't wait until you share your new babe! 🙂

It looks beautiful! Such great light (and I LOVE your french doors!) Excited to meet the newest member of your family! xo, Kimberly
Thanks Kimberly! The french doors were moved from another area in the house where they served no purpose but to shut the front door (no windows) and stairs off from the living room. They are older and one top pane has a crack but I love the light they let in and if the pane becomes a problem hopefully it will be easy to replace.
