The Inside Part 3. Family, Living and Dining Rooms Before

The Inside Part 3

The Family, Living and Dining Rooms Before

  Now on to Part 3 of the Flip before.   I know I told you all before that this is a very typical ranch floor plan so I am sure you will not be surprised by these pictures of this area or maybe you will question my sanity taking on a project so big.

So the floor plan starts out walking through the front door.  After entering the front door, you are greeted with a small foyer and the Living Room is to the left with a long wall separating the Living and Family areas.  The Dining Room is to the far left on the other end of the living area and backs up to the kitchen.  The Family Room is on the other side of the wall and has a nice fireplace with a door leading to the outside patio.  The Family room then flows to the kitchen.  I saw the potential to open this area up immediately!!!  Open concept here we come.  

I have to laugh because when we first started the house, my daughter asked me if the TV people were going to come and film me doing this house.  (She has watched a million of the renovation shows on TV with me).  I told her, “No baby there won’t be any TV cameras here but the house will look as good as the houses on those shows when I’m done.”  So now on to the pictures.

The front foyer area when you walk in the front door,  I do love the front door and it may be used on another project down the road.

The Living Room to the left as you walk in the front door.  You can also see the Dining Room from here.

Here is another angle of the Living Room.  It has a set of 3 windows.

Here is the door leading to the Family Room.  It is what you walk through if you came straight in from the front door.

This is the Family Room with a nice brick fireplace and a door leading to the outdoor patio.

This is the view from the far side of the Family Room looking into the kitchen.

The wall separating the Living and Family areas.  Can you say “WOW?”  That’s a big paneled wall!

This is the paneled wall that is to the right of where you enter the room from the front door.  Talk about a room with a lot of wood paneling!

Looking back to the fireplace area from the kitchen.  Check out the carpet!  Yuck!!

Here is the Dining Room.  I must say the chandelier is nice but will not fit into the design plan of this house.  I saved it of course and will use it on another project.

Dining Room looking back to the front of the house.

The set of 3 windows in the Dining Room.

And last but not least, here is the door leading into the kitchen from the Dining Room.

I would love to know your thoughts.  I will be sharing one last post on Before pics of the Hall and Bedroom areas and then onto demo pics.  Thanks where the fun really begins!
