House Renovation: Week 3

It's almost week 3 and the progress is really speedy. I normally would drive by after fetching Aliyah from school just to see what's new.

The current kitchen which we plan to turn into a study. The door and window have been removed and closed up.
Hubby at the patio. On the right is the new dining area - with 3 high single windows. The original plan is to put a 3-panel high window but the beam from the original patio made it impossible. So, Miqdam proposed 3 single high windows instead and I love it. Also, the beam actually half protrudes at the new wall. Since Miqdam is my nephew and he knows very well that he will be spending considerable amount of time at our new house, he actually propose that the wall be made thicker so that the beam can be hidden. The windows will have some kind of platform like the ones you can see in foreign magazines where people like to put pots of herbs especially in the kitchen. Double love that! I really hope they will turn out to be like I imagined.
View from the back. That window will have that same platform. Triple love that!
The laundry area. Now it looks a bit suffocating though... I hope the transparent roof will give enough sunlight. And the door too...
View from the front. Yes, haru-biru.
