Renovating our 200-year-old house, one decision at a time
There is a lot we love about the first floor and also a lot that we don’t at all plan on changing. The first floor is what really sold us on this house because it is where most of the original detailing and character are located. Here is a (blurry) floor map of the layout.
Our favorite things about the first floor:

We have been living here a little longer than the progress might lead you to believe.
Our actual move in was a little chaotic. To keep things moving, I will explain how it all happened with the help of a timeline:
July 12th, 2016– We moved out of the last renovation house that we had been living in. That house was about 20 minutes away from our current house. Ronan and his brother, Conall, did that project together over the course of a couple of years. We moved into it after the renovations were 95% complete and stayed there for about 9 months before selling it. We knew we didn’t want to stay there forever, but now we find ourselves staring at pictures of it and commenting on how warm, finished, and neat it was! While this whole renovation process is super fun, we can’t wait to have that feeling of calm here, when all of the hard work is done. (Here are some pictures of that house for reminiscing purposes.)
