Our Home Renovation Project // The Loft Conversion: Weeks 5-6

These past two weeks, operation renovation went up a level, and last Tuesday, as Jonas' bedroom wall was knocked down and the ceiling in the landing was removed, we made the executive decision to move camp with the whole family. We descended on my parents, just down the road, and have been there ever since.

The house is truly transforming before our eyes, and it's SO exciting to see it all really taking shape now! Not being there "full time" has meant adjusting from seeing a gradual transforming, to watching things change in leaps and bounds...

Here's the view at ours!

Looking up from the landing into our new loft space...

Peering over the top...

The stairwell...

The beginning of the staircase...

Beginning to take shape...

Truly, the most fascinating bit of this whole process has been watching Scott build our staircase... It is SUCH a skill and an art and takes true craftsmanship... impressive down to the smallest detail! And the stairs are wide; somehow we've managed to land on our feet with that one. The staircase is now completed, but I'll share those photos in the week 7-8 update. Needless to say, we are thrilled!

The skylight above pours light all the way down the shaft from the very top of the house to the ground floor!

And here's the view from the back! I can't believe how quickly this build has gone. This week, we've made decisions about light fittings and plug sockets and bathrooms and it feels like we're almost on the home run in terms of the loft conversion...

Only the whole of the downstairs to go! Oh help!
