Our new open concept!

last modified: 9 years ago
My family and I have recently gone through a major renovation of our main floor. After living in our present house for 10 years, we figured out what worked and what didn't and made the leap to renovate. I am a huge advocate for function and using every inch of space to the best of its ability, AND...I also like pretty :) Sooooo, that being said I would like to share with you my before, during and after photos and my thought process for functionality.
