Week 2 a lot of progress was made on the backyard, deck, picking colors for the wood on the outside of the house and getting the kitchen completely demoed for the work to begin. The pool is also being prepped for draining as we are completely replacing the liner and squaring off the corners. It is a lot to re-do a pool that was already in perfect condition, despite the green color you will see below, but we wanted it to be done right and really fit within the modern style we are trying to achieve. The deck above and below is also being torn off and redone with cedar, which will be amazing and enhance the look of the house 100%. See for yourself below :)
The old brick surrounding the entire pool has been pulled out and the pool is getting ready to be drained. The brick you see in the backyard we actually pulled out ourselves, doesn't look like a lot, but it was 5000 bricks!
One more look at the pool, don't you want to jump in and take a dip ;)
The downstairs deck is ready for the new cedar. The cedar will meet the deck surrounding the pool which will be all blue stone.
This was about half of the colors we ended up actually choosing from. D went all over Long Island, Manhattan and Brooklyn to find the perfect grey for our house. Photos coming in Week 4 of the house all painted :) As you can see, many of them were too brown and too blue.
We are already ordering furniture, it is stacking up downstairs!
Kitchen is completely ready to go, even the old tile is broken up and ready to be removed.
This is the front door upstairs, we are taking out the tile and replacing with matching wood flooring so the flow of the upstairs is consistent.
Working hard! xo
