Demo Update, More Decor, and THIS not That!

Demo Update

As I mentioned in my previous post the majority of the demo is done as well as the framing.  Now we're onto the electrical and plumbing work.  Here's a few snapshots.

Here is a snapshot from several days ago in the garage soon-to-be master bedroom.  Right now you're looking into the kitchen area.  You'll see in a second that that wall is now boarded up and will separate the two rooms.

Here's a view from the family room looking into the kitchen.  Behind the boarded up wall is the master bedroom from the photo before.  Pretty neat huh?!

Final demo picture for the day.  Right now I'm standing in the foyer and to the left is the dining room, the middle is the family room and the top right corner is the kitchen.  It's all coming together so fast!!!

More Decor and THIS not That!

As I mentioned in a previous post, my most recent trip to Pottery Barn has my wheels spinning about what I want to do with the family and dining rooms... However, the cost to achieve these looks at PB's pricing is just outrageous to me.

PB Custom Sofa

This bad boy retails at approximately $1500 at PB.

Custom Friday Sofa

I have it on good authority that this retailer purchased the PB sofa and replicated it, here's hoping!!   This sofa also gets great reviews!  Where did I find it?  JCPenny of all places!!  This sofa is on sale right now for $845.  I can handle that!!!

Coffee Table

Remember this?

I LOVE this coffee table!  It retails at PB for $600.  Seriously?!  Seriously.

Originally I had found a steal on CraigsList and set it up to purchase it from the people.  Well the day I was going to go get it they said they sold it the night before.  THANKS DUDE!  I just thought that was rude.

So I keep searching around and low and behold!!!

This guy walks into my life!!!  And almost exact replica of the PB sofa for almost half the cost!!  It's heavy and sturdy and I just LOVE it!  Found it at World Market on sale for $329.  Hooray!

Dining Set

So we've decided to not have a nook in the new house and instead are just going to have a 2 person eat in island and make the formal dining area more of an informal eating area which I am SUPER excited about!!!  Check this out!

Hubs sort of freaked out when I showed this to him because he said it looked like crap... Thanks honey :) But when I showed him more up close pictures he actually liked it!   I'm not going to buy the 2 end chairs... I'm not sure exactly what will go at the ends but I want something that will pop.  Perhaps something like this...

Not exactly this... but you get the picture.  Something different and fun!

8/29/11 Update on Living Room:

Here's exactly what I'm going for!!!

LOVE EVERYTHING about this set!!!  I'm 99.99999% it's THE ONE.

And finally, here's the light that will go above the dining table...

Just the look I'm going for!!!

Kitchen Windows

So the kitchen will have a wall of windows above the counter looking over the pool area.  I want curtains there but nothing too dramatic.  I thought this concept would work great!

Basically sliders half way up the window.  What a great idea!!!

That's it for now!!
