New England Farmhouse Renovation Part 2: The Upstairs

If you haven't read part 1, Click here now to read it. - Also, I apologize for the crappy quality of some of these photos... the one's that are BLATANTLY out of focus, were taken by the hubby, but they are what we have, so we deal with it, lol

Ah yes, the upstairs. When you walk up the stairs in the side wing, you would find yourself in a cozy little landing with angled walls and a sloped ceilings and no windows. To your left was a small bedroom with a blue floral wallpaper pattern and a small closet. To your right, another bedroom with a chimney and a door that led to a small cramped little bathroom. In the bathroom was another door that led to the hallway of the main house.

The top of the stairs, looking down

 Taken from in the first bedroom, facing the "landing" between the 2 rooms.

This is the front wall, this window faces the road

Standing at the top of the stairs looking to the room on the right, the pink door back there behind the chimney leads to the upstairs hall of the main house.

The pictures above are the closest we have to "before" pictures, unless hubby took some before I moved in that I don't know about.

Now on to some of the progress pics! After we got all the crap pulled out...

Taken standing in front of the door to the upstairs hallway of the main house, facing the staircase. As you can see, we got all of the walls, plaster, etc. pulled out and all we have left is the wiring and some of the old insulation. The chimney you see in the right hand side of this picture is being torn down THIS WEEK so we can get started on the kitchen and framing for the two bedrooms and kids bathroom that will be going in up here!

Facing the other direction, along this front wall (on the right) will be a hallway, on the left will be 2 bedrooms (one on either end) with the stairs and a bathroom between them. The unused section of "hall"  (where I'm standing while taking the picture) will become a "Craft" nook for me!

I hope you've enjoyed this riveting look into our adventures in renovating a century old farm house! Look for another post SOON!
