This is the current view looking towards the screened-in porch. We're going to remove the door and open the wall to the right of it to the bar counter.
I definitely am going to miss this relaxing space in our house! Though, let's be honest. "Relaxing" time these days is spent in my bed asleep (or in my bed reading a book, or in my bed watching tv... etc.). We inherited the chairs/ottomans/tables from David's parents and we need to find a temporary place for them because they are awesome and we aren't getting rid of them! Same goes for the amazing heater (a Christmas gift from the Bryants a few years back).
This is the current view out onto the deck. We're going to move the door from the house to this door space.
And... the wall to the house. And the box. David and Matt moved it into the yard beyond the deck, so we'll be able to keep our storage without taking up valuable deck space.
We have ordered the windows, but now have to pick out:
- paint color (should we repaint the kitchen too [we really don't want to]? the same color as the dining room??)
- tile (should it be exactly like our kitchen tile? travertine?)
- light fixture (probably a fan to help with airflow... we'll need it in there. something like this?)
- table!! yay!!! no idea what we want... or what the space will actually accommodate. We'll probably have to wait until there are real walls and no furniture in there to figure this one out.
The windows have been ordered so there's no turning back!

This is great! It's nice that you're not losing your deck and outdoor space with this remodel! Maybe a similar family color as the kitchen but not the same exact color. Not sure how expensive it would be but wood flooring would be really nice in a dining room. Easy clean up but different than the kitchen and a little more formal (for resale). I love reading about your remodel process!
