I've been a pretty delinquent blogger lately. Not my usual post happy self. My only defense is that I've passed the inspiration stage of this reno and am knee deep into the reno stage. And that is less pretty pictures and more floor plans, descriptions and details. Hope you're still with me here :)
And so, having written to the contractor about removing the fireplace AND being told that it is possible and within budget I was over the moon.Our plans for this house changed from being THIS, to the floorplan above. As you can see, we really wanted a larger kitchen with an island.

What do you guys think?? Would this be a nice change?
The other day I was grocery shopping and spotted the April issue of House & Home. That table, the white walls, indoor/outdoor living. I love it all. And while our house will never be this, I can comfortably aim for a large table with mis-matched chairs and open bookshelves.
What were you up to this weeked?? We didn't do anything reno related on Sunday. A first in forever. It felt like a real weekend and I am so very rested.
Hope your weekend was wonderful. Welcome to the other side of winter and +24C weather. We've made it and spring is glorious.
