Phases of my house renovation

Alhamdulilah again. We finally managed to buy a house. It is a small single storey house. What we like about the house is the location of the house. It is only 5 minutes to our office. We will save a lot of money in a long term. Moreover, the house is facing a field and there is a playground. The house located near the surau and masjid, walking distance. School and other amenities are also walking distance. Eventhough it is an old and small house but the location make us decided to buy it. We don't even paln to retire in that house. It will be our investment as we are planning to buy a bigger house in the future, InsyaAllah.
Due to the condition, we need to do a few renovation. We decided to renovate the internal part and extend the kitchen. We will not do renovation for the porch just yet. So people we see the front of the house that is not that welcoming home but went you enter the house it will be beautiful and mesmerized by it, InsyaAllah.
Lets' see the progress of renovation works.
My friend. this is the part where we decided our toilet will be, at the back of the house. Before this, it is in the middle of the house. Maybe because of the old design, it has alot of walls as a separators and the toilet was divided into two, one for shower and another one for 'u know wat' thing. Now, we decided to make it only one big toilet instead of two.
This is where we extend the back part of the house. It will be the kicthen.
This should be our dining hall. Before this there was a wall in between deviding the dining at the kitchen. Hope you can imagine it.
Old windows.
This is a bigger room before this. We decided to make it smaller to make our store room.
Our back house is walking distance towards shops and surau. Very convinience.
This is the window that we are changing. It is more taller and modern.
We change all the windows in the house. For rooms, we will do a sliding windows.
We decided for the window above, we will change into a mirror, just to let the sun get into the house and make the place brighter eventhough without switching on lights. Previously, it was a normal window. I am lazy to open and close and clean the windows. So we end up put a huge glass instead.
This is the living hall. It is quite small. We extend a bit to the front.

Kitchen ceiling
The front part before extend. That is my Endon contractor. We charge us much cheaper than you take a Malaysian contractor.
This is a sample only ok.
