I think we have a pretty swanky pad. We still need to finish a lot of the house for it to be safe for friends and children (Tick Tock! Four months to go until baby time!) but we enjoy it here. When we were searching for a house, we had to push a bit farther out from Ido's work than we had planned. We bought a 30yr old house in the boonies in need of repair and I love it. Ido loves more the idea of it being finished. I'm posting some of the progress we have made over the past few years.
There used to be a wall and closet between the dining room and
living room. I took care of that.

and covered with cedar boards stained from leaks in the roof:

This is the closet that I've removed. Good choice? I think so:

We added skylights, a new wood ceiling, oak floors replaced the lovely pink carpet covered in dog stains from the previous owner's pet, new lighting, I moved the entryway out eight feet to make an enclosed entry instead of the absurd architect's design of entering the house with only five feet of space between the door and stairwell. It still needs so much work.

It also appears that you put down harwood, where there were tiles? Looks nice.
