First I have to give a little woo hoo! My
Tame the Bed Head Beast post was featured as having the most visits to the
30 Handmade Days Pity Party last week. This is the first time I've been "featured" so I'm a little giddy to say the least. Anna at
Ask Anna also did a shout out for this post on her FB page and Bec at
Little Lucy Lu gave me a shout out for the
Cheat the Class Treat post on her FB page. So it was an exciting two weeks for Plumberry Pie! Okay, I'm done. Just a little excited! So now to the real post for the day...my sisters demo and reno.
Since I don't have any major projects happening at my house, I thought I'd share what's happening at my sister's. I've found that no matter the size of your space, if you don't have a good layout, then any space can seem dysfunctional. My sister's house is just under 1,000 square feet and the layout wasn't the best. While her living room is a good size, her kitchen
is was closed off and tight. So she decided to start knocking down some walls! Things are still in process, but here's how far she's gotten....
 |
BEFORE
- the wall dividing the kitchen and living room - |
 |
AFTER
- down to the studs - |
 |
AFTER, AFTER
- no studs, new header - |
She also wanted to open up the entry way by getting rid of the half wall and closet.

| AFTER with her cute dog |
She also plans to redo the floors and gut and redo the kitchen, but there's that thing called money. So for now, she'll finish off the walls and enjoy a wide open space. I will make sure to keep you up-to-date on her progress because who doesn't love a good before and after?!
Happy Friday!

Hey Kim thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hi. Your blog is super cute with some fun ideas. I love remodeling but boy do I dislike the process. It looks like your sister is on the way to some great upgrades.
