18-Month Renovation
From the start, it was clear that the house needed a complete makeover to suit a small family, let alone the Gaines family of six (at the time). With just two bedrooms and an unfinished attic, the couple decided to add on more room, the master bedroom. Other than that, the focus was to open up and maximize the space.
Joanna posted, “My main priority was to open up the main living, dining and kitchen area. It took several months to get all my ideas on paper because there was a lot of reconfiguring to make the newlywed space work for our family.”
