My recent renovation project - 1

2010-06-21


My husband and I have been wanting to move to a bigger home for the last 3 years, but the current real estate market in the USA has been very bad. This means it would be extremely difficult for us to sell our home. In normal conditions, there would be about 45 homes for sale in our neighborhood; this summer though, there are 127. This is why we decided to build an addition and renovate the kitchen.


My husband purchased the home in 1993; it has 3 bedrooms, a two-car garage and a basement. This is a picture of our home before the renovation:


Below is a picture of the outdated kitchen: As you can see, it is outdated and is quite small.


So, we met with our contractors at the end of 2009 to discuss the details of this project. They basically told us the house was pretty easy to enlarge, and that the city will approve the blue prints because we still have much space around the house. This is the design they proposed.
