"This is Meeka, the Design Principal at Design Farm Group. She has recently purchased a cottage that she will be renovating over the next few months. 
She would love for you to get a sneak peek at the weekly progress and witness the restoration and transformation of the new space." (CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR LAST BLOG POST)

 So... here we go!




Here is what happened while you were away
  • Interior stripped down to the studs
  • Electrical has all been updated
  • Replaced the steam heating system to hot water
  • Replaced damaged beams and framing

Demolition

Fashionably dressed for the demo party and braving the elements! 

 

 Front Door + Living Room

Rounded Archways and the Craftsman wood detailing are big features in this home. All architectural details will be kept, reinforced and restored. 

We are down to the studs. Beams and framing were redone as needed







 



 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Upstairs Bathroom Makeover:

The Bathroom will be designed with Carerra marble and a seamless glass shower. Completing the space will be a Mid-Century media cabinet converted to a vanity topped with a trough sink. 

I know its hard to see that now but boy just you wait!!!



This is the Carerra marble that I like. What do you think?!







 
Framing and plumbing all roughed in and ready to go!



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upstairs Bedrooms:












Boots standing guard and supervising!


This is where the Freaky built-ins drawers were removed in order to make room to remove the ceiling joists and cathedral the ceiling downstairs.














Reclaiming Space:

The brown door concealed stairs going to the attic is now GONE! They have been replaced with pull down stairs to give the bedroom on the left some breathing room. 


Attic Stairs Replace with Pull down
