A four day week-end ahead of us and 3 bottles of wine later, the walls came down and floors came up. The original remodeling plan of a room at a time fell by the wayside. We decided to rip it all up and out at once. Crazy?? Maybe just a little bit. But what I've learned after moving things from one room to another, then another, then another is this: One big mess is preferable to 5 seperate ones, everything you stuff in your closets (4) is really not as important to keep as you might have once thought after you move it 3 times in two days and ripping up, tearing down and throwing stuff out a second floor window is quite exhilarating!!
What's a little temporary chaos in the greater scheme of things? Well worth it I say. On the 3rd floor of this tri-level, what was once four bedrooms and two full baths is now becoming a larger master suite, studio (for me, YAY!) and an office while still keeping the two full baths.
My husband is talented, awesome and sore. He is doing it all himself with my help. Neither one of us mind getting down and dirty. And at the end of the day? A feeling of accomplishment.
