When Rick was not cutting tiles or rerouting electrical cables, he was demo-ing the other wall in the foyer.

When we first moved into the house, one of the very first projects we tackled was demo-ing one of the walls in the foyer to really open up the floorplan downstairs.  Move forward a few weeks, just when we finally got all the dust and mess out of the house (there’s only so much cleaning you can keep doing over and over again), Rick dutifully went and made some more mess! It will all be worth it though – the space downstairs already looks so much better by opening up the walls in the foyer. The staircase has room to breathe, and the small, dark and dingy corridors between the staircase and the two formal living rooms has gone. It takes a little imagination to see the potential of the space, what with all the sheetrock, dust and general mayhem going on.  But in my mind’s eye, I am envisioning how gorgeous the Brazilian Koa hardwood floors are going be in that whole space!  Stay tuned…
