We found a wonderful gem this spring on Hood Canal (Puget Sound) in the Pacific Northwest. We are updating the entire space to bring a warmer feel to the home. The 80s abounded throughout but we saw past that and fell in love with the large picture windows, spacious rooms and open concept. We've completely gutted the kitchen, took out an old pellet stove and replaced with a gas unit, replaced funky gray parquet floors with beachy hardwoods and new paint throughout and now installing T&G hemlock ceilings. New lighting throughout (will post in more detail once complete. Pleased with our progress so far! Phase 2 will be gutting bathrooms!

A little more grouting to do in the new kitchen. Big change is the stove on the back wall to free up the peninsula. Need to find some fun stools now.

Old pellet stove replaced with a gas fireplace and new stone. Overlayed right over the brick.

Before we painted and started installing the T&G ceilings. all of the mill work will be replaced and white.

Starting to take on a warm look with the new wood surfaces
