I knew you didn't like the corner fireplace and was trying to determine if we could add ours onto a wall like you'll be doing with your remodel. I hadn't thought about it bumping out into the room so far which definitely won't work for our layout. Thanks for that!Jeff and Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912671909043369064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-71355221463778526862014-07-10T08:16:45.673-04:002014-07-10T08:16:45.673-04:00Love the new space.

Not for the faint of heart, this home demolition. I love the size of your new space...like three spaces all in one. We added on to our ranch 10 years ago and bumped the family room onto the back. We love the cozy layout but it would be great to have the kitchen and FR blended like yours. If you can't trim your rug down, you should host a TDC auction to sell the pieces that don't fit the new layout. Love the fireplace and your inspiration.

If you're careful about what you cut, it might be possible for you to cut off enough that you'd have remnants for making other rugs (e.g. runner, door mats). A strip just 20-24" wide could yield nice pieces for a great little rug to use somewhere else!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-66935801927859256332014-07-09T12:36:23.367-04:002014-07-09T12:36:23.367-04:00This is SO exciting.

I just want you to know that I have been reading your blog for several years now- one of only a few I could really get interested in- and this is so exciting (not only because you're knocking down walls!) but knowing that you have no debt and are able to move forward and make a beautiful home for your family with your priorities in place. It is so much more exciting knowing you aren't putting it all on a credit card and going into debt. Thank you so much for being my inspiration.
