About Me

McLean, Virginia
My name is Keirsten Campbell and I am a wife and mother of 3 young boys. My life for the last 5 years has been busy raising kids, but inside I have had dreams of tapping into my creative side and remodeling a home. This blog is part inspiration photos I have compiled for the last few years of my life and part documentation of the building process. Enjoy!

Second Floor almost enclosed and kitchen framed

It's pouring rain today, so it 's tough to get good pictures. The guys started putting the roof and walls up on the second floor. They also framed in the kitchen area. You can really see how the family room and kitchen will flow.

Family Room Walled in

Not much progress yesterday, but the wall for the family room/closet are framed in and we can really see our livable space.

Day 4 - Basement is almost all closed in . .

The basement is a lot darker today, as the floor to the second level goes in. Very exciting to see. You can also see where the fireplace will be as well.

Framing Day 3 - Basement Bedroom and Bath

So they framed in the basement bedroom and bathroom (which I think looks a little small) - but it porbably a perfect size for guests or a gym!



Here are a couple more shots of the interior.  The kitchen, upstair bath and the upstairs old closet are all gone.

Framing Day 2

It's an absolutely beautiful day today. I wish the guys had all days like this to work. More walls and beams added to the addition.
