So, you know we’re dedicating our Wednesdays to house tours. We thought this Wednesday might be a good time to give you a little update on the Beaufort house! If you’re thinking What? This is PROGRESS! check out our before pictures here and here. Obviously, this is only primer on the walls and a couple of spindles have been painted white to test. But it’s amazing how big of a difference just a little white paint can make!
Our original plan was to rip out this fireplace and start over. As it turns out, it was going to be a major structural deal, so we’re experimenting with other options. It’s amazing what an eyesore it was before and how much better just this little tester paint looks!
Dark half bath door primed!
The upstairs master bath is painted, and I am obsessed with this color. It’s one of the only times in my life I walked into a room and thought, “Yup. Nailed that paint choice.”
Here’s another view.
The floors up here were painted brown, so we’re exploring some options. They might possibly be able to be sanded and refinished, but we’re trying a little white paint just in case it doesn’t work. We love it! It’s so fresh.
The bathroom has been painted too. And, no, this fabulous chair isn’t staying… We’ll auction it off to the highest bidder 🙂
Untold baths are going to happen here, just admiring the view out the window!
Little Will’s bathroom tile is finished as well!
We think the gray grout looks great!
Laundry room! It’s small for a reason, people.
The lighting is clearly not finished in Will’s room. Sorry for the horrible pictures.
We might seal these window frames off and leave them looking rustic. We think it would pair well with the built-in ships beds. This is one of those times, like normal, where we walked in and thought: “We picked that color…”
The blue lines in the hall wall are the site of the future third floor demo, affectionately named the “stairway to heaven.” And, let us tell you, when you get out on that widow’s walk, you feel pretty close to it! We’re hoping to bust that ceiling out this week.
The floors in the kitchen/mudroom are down. We can’t wait to see this place with a pair of chaises!
We’ve come a long way, baby.
As a reminder, here’s the old kitchen. Ahhh, memories!
The upstairs guest room with shiny, new paint! Is it weird that I miss the pink walls?
Mom and Dad’s bathroom floor is down and the tub and tile — sans grout — are in!
Shew! We can’t wait to show you even more progress in a week or two when we go back to check on things.
We’ve still got a ways to go, but it’s safe to say that this project will be finished one day… Thanks for visiting us today. We hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Looking good and I think A LOT of progress has been made, how exciting. Isn’t it amazing what a bucket of paint can do. Love the painted floors and love that you re going light and airy..its going to be amazing!!
Can’t wait to see the end result:)
This is going to be so good. I can already tell!
I’m with you only a few times have I thought I nailed a paint color. Your home is really coming along compared to what it looked like you must be so excited because I know I am for you.

I cannot tell you how much those stairs make my heart melt.

It’s going to be beautiful! Love the tile in the bathroom and the floors look great. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

as a “nearly done” diy-er…I am so thrilled to see someone else’s dreams fall into place and come to life. I am amazed and impressed and excited!
How exciting! Love everything you have done so far:)
Love everything you have done so far…totally agree with nailing the paint color…if only it could happen more often! Would you mind sharing the color?
Looking good and I can’t believe the progress you are making. Anyone that’s had experience with building or renovation can appreciate all the work involved here. We just finished our great room and it seemed to take forever. The old wood seems to drink up the primer and paint when you aren’t looking!
Thanks for keeping us posted on your updates. It’s going to look amazing when you’re finished!
It’s really taking shape. Wow, the spindles look great white.
What is the paint color you love, I love it too and am looking for a paint for our Master Bedroom. Please share.
It’s going to be a fabulous beach house (by location) when finished.

OMG, I can just imagine how gorgeous this house will be! All the details I’m seeing far shows the time and thought put into this house, not to mention the love!
I love the paint color you chose…its such a soft color of gray…Could I have the name of the color?
would love to know the name of the gray paint color!
You HAVE come a long way baby! This is going to be such a beautiful house in such a beautiful town. Loving those window seats.
Do we get another update soon? With this winter weather, I’m sure you’re dreaming of weekends at the beach! Love this place!
