bigbull 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Hello Everybody,My wife have gotten so much from all the t-bloggers here , so we decided to share our renovation journey too.We had the opportunity to stay in Sweden for a few years so we are very attracted to scandinavia style. However, as we continue to scout around for ideas, it seems like we are drifting from our original concept already. Hopefully, everything will blend it well. We have gotten K to do our house and the renovation is already underway. This is my floor plan:As you perhaps can see, I erased the wall which we have already hacked.
