The Russian River Dacha Update & Reveal

Greetings!
A long overdue update on our Russian River Dacha beginning with the before photos of the great room.

The new archway created to convert a 3rd bedroom into a dining room.

The new opening to the left (previously the 3rd bedroom's closet) leads to the kitchen.

Bedroom 2

 

In the next couple of weeks the exterior will get new paint.  All of the aluminum windows will be replaced before the paint is applied.  The front door will also be replaced with a glass top dutch door.  Currently, the colors below are the preferred choices.  However, it may change.


Khaki will be the new primary color.


Hunter green will be the window and door outside trim accent color.  The windows sash inset trim/mullions will be white.

 The front porch fence will be dark brown.

A sample of the dutch door.

Dual pane windows will also come with screen to welcome the fresh outdoor breeze during the spring/fall and summer seasons.

After the exterior is painted and windows/door replaced, we can focus on the final renovation which will be the kitchen.  Although the area is functional(new refrigerator,stove/oven,microwave) it is in desperate need of new task lighting,cabinets,counters and space for a dishwasher.  I will also share the already completed bathroom makeover at the same time because my current pictures did not come out well.  Please continue to stay tuned.
   I will also be linking this post to Metamorphosis Monday hosted by the talented Susan with Between Naps On The Porch.  Please visit her site for great before and after ideas.
