Here is a shot of the dining room under two inches of plaster dust!

This is the living room

A peek at the master bathroom

Another M. Bathroom shot.

Almost there!

Here is a shot from our dining room as you look toward the living room. You can see the kitchen cabinets in the background. This also has a shot of my new 10 ft. long dining room table. You  can see the tile flooring and can kind of see the hardwood flooring. We have not chosen a stain yet. That happens this Friday! Will take more pictures tomorrow to post.

We have walls!!!!!

This is a view of my new expanded master bedroom looking toward the backyard.

This is a view of my Master shower/bathroom.

This is my new walk-in closet. And it is all for me! Dave gets his own off of the bathroom.

This is one side of my living room, looking toward the bedroom hallway.

This view is from the front door into my living room and on into the dining room.

Dave is coming in our new side entrance into our laundry/mudroom.

This space will eventually become our new kitchen/dining room. Below is the dining room with a view into the laundry room on the left and on the right, the butler's pantry. The french doors lead out to the back yard.

Yes, we finally have real walls! The sheetrocking crew started yesterday and they are flying through the job. Should be all done by Monday. Then we paint the walls and lay the tile simultaneously-then comes hardwood flooring, kitchen cabinets, granite countertops bath tub, sinks, etc. I am so excited and nervous too as I hope all the choices I have made in colors and materials come together in a nice cohesive look. We haven't been given any firm date for completion yet...but it is moving faster! Yippee!!!

Reintjes Reno Continues...

We did have a lot of changes to the outside as well.

When we added out 15 ft. along the back of our house we had to take the roof up 6 ft. and over to accommodate the expansion. We also added a bay window because I wanted to have a window-seat in the kitchen! I love to watch the garden and the birds.

This view shows the added roof space well.

This side view shows the added space easily visible before our new siding was added.

Some sneak peeks of our new expanded spaces! So much yet to do!?

Reintjes Reno

Home Sweet Home August 2010

So the big Reintjes reno has begun! Workers dug and laid the footing on Friday so we are finally on our way to a new and improved house! Yippee!

Reintjes Garden 2010

Spring has Sprung!

Finally have some new pics to add to my blog! Dad and I have been busy in the garden and are gearing up for a big house renovation to add more space to our little house. Things are falling into place and we are ready to start soon! We are evn making plans for a swimming pool!

Here are some shots of my new interior looks for spring in colors of blue, lavendar and plum.

This bouquet uses some real and silk hydrangeas and is set in an old florist stand in weathered white paint.

Here is another view of my hydrangeas.

These are the same banana grass chairs I had before but with purple accent pillows.

Here is the new dress I got for my livingroom mannequin.

Of course I had to redecorate the fireplace area to match. It too is in shades of blue, lavendar and plum.

One last photo of my sideboard with the portrait of my mother.
