Hey there friends...no pretty pictures today...just an update to show you how far we got with our flooring renovation project.
~~~
Last weekend my cousin and his crew started the demolition of our flooring! They took all the appliances out of my kitchen and even removed our center island...which now has a home in our dining room...and was able to remove all the tile and sub-floor.
~~~
Notice anything else that was removed??
Remember this half wall we had that separated the breakfast area from the family room...it's gone! Now it's just one big open space!
Much better!
I was able to remove all the plastic they had up to block off the family room...all the cutting will be done outside now.
They moved the electrical switches and outlet along with my central vacuum connection over to this wall.
They're even adding an outlet in the floor for me over here...so happy about that...I love having an outlet in the floor.
This weekend they told me the flooring in here will be done and my appliances and island installed back in and this wall should be patched.
On Sunday they're going to rip out the old hardwood in my dining room.
~~~
Hopefully I'll be able to paint this room next week and get it cleaned and back in order!

I love seeing progress, Martina! I love that the dividing wall has been taken out. It looks so much bigger. I know you will be so happy when it is complete. xo
Oh, Martina you will love that big open space without that wall. Can't wait to see the new bed/bedding.
What a big difference with that half wall moved! Can't wait to see it all back together. Looks like you have a bedroom project going on too!
It's looking great, Martina! I'm sure you can't wait until it's done. It will make a big difference to the look of these rooms.

So exciting, Martina! I'm totally jealous - would love to get rid of the carpet in my house. It's amazing what a difference removing the half wall made. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Hi Martina! I saw this on FB and wanted to come and see it! I'm so excited for you and it's going to be so pretty!
Be a sweetie,

So exciting ... love seeing the progress (and that you removed the 1/2 wall). Can't wait to see it all done!
Oh your new floors are going to be fabulous. I want to do mine so bad, just have to save some more money. Removing the wall really makes the space so open and fabulous. Love it all. I love that pillow too. Hugs, Marty
I bet its going to look beautiful and fabulous. Can't wait to see the new space!
Oh Martina, it's going to be beautiful when it's all done!
I can see that it will be beautiful. We are going to have flooring installed in our kitchen later this year. I am so glad it will be a small project.
It's always so nice to get a make over in our homes.
I want those floor outlets also
you will be a happy girl when its' all done I am sure
exciting!
I know you're hating the mess, but it will be well worth it to have everything done. Looking good so far.
So exciting! Can't wait to see it completed!
I can tell it's going to be beautiful.
What a job! It is going to be SO VERY NICE when it is done, Martina. I am loving it already. That pillow is very pretty, too. xo Diana
Very exciting! Can't wait to see the final result!
It's going to be so worth it Martina!
Can't wait to see what you are working on too!
That's quite the job, but looks like it will be done soon enough
It's going to be beautiful!♡
Soooo happy for you! Well not about all the grunt work, but oh it will be so wonderful when it's all done! Pretty, pretty.
So tell me Martina, where did you find the fabric for the pillow? Me like it! Me want some! Sorry, but I have a baaaad case of the green eyed monster!LOL.
I didn't see an email address, I would love to feature you on my Show Off & Inspire series. Email me so I can tell you all about it.

Thanks, Marty
It is going to be gorgeous! What a difference the wall made. Can not wait to see the finished project!
It was so smart to remove the wall. I love seeing the progress Martina.
I am new to your blog. I found you by way of Savvy Southern Style. What a project you have taken on! My husband and his father installed our wood floors, but that was when we were building the house. I can't imagine replacing them! Can't wait to see the end results! I have to say thank you for the encouragement. I about to tackle the project of painting the bathroom and kitchen cabinets.
Really shaping up, Martina! What a difference taking down the half wall will make. Looking forward to your bedroom reveal...that pillow is gorgeous! Have a terrific weekend! Jane
Martina this is so exciting. I love outlets in the floor especially in open spaces. Can't wait to see this finished and the bedding and bed!!!
Cynthia
Looking amazing already!How exciting! LOVE your beautiful home!

Wow!! What a difference with the removed wall, it really opens up the space! So exciting! :)
Hi, I just have a question regarding your window treatments in your kitchen/family room. Will you be keeping your blinds. You are the first person that has the same bumpout bay with sliding doors. I always like new ideas.
Hi Martina, great progress. Love the wall removal. The floors are going to be gorgeous!
Outlets in the floor are great to have for end tables and sofa tables etc. I had a friend who had one put in the middle of a big room to center her Christmas tree.
Looks like you are having some fun upstairs too.
Have a great week.
Hugs
That flooring is going to look great! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment!
