Remodel Photos

As requested here are photos of the almost complete remodel. You know how you get all excited about a project and jump right in before you realize that you should have taken some before photos. I had to dig deeply into iPhoto to find any photos that showed our house in its original state. So add this image to the before photos... dingy 12 year old beige carpet (even after deep cleaning), dingy white walls (probably also 12 years old), no character what so ever.


Our living room shortly after we moved in several years ago. The furniture was rearranged many times, but never seemed to work. The after photo from this angle has to wait until the stairs are done later this week (cross fingers).


A before shot of the view that greeted you when you opened the front door.


Our new and improved view. We actually have an entry way now. There are baskets for shoes, rather than the unsightly pile that used to develop by the door and a place to sit. And it doesn't feel all crowded now. We love it.



A better view of the entry way in all its glory. Can you tell that I love the new space. By turning the stairs we made the vault make sense, visually defined the living room and dining room areas and actually made the living room feel larger.
