Before Project Photos
Images from before the project started. The project involves combining a bedroom and bathroom into a single bathroom on the second floor and extended the house out on the south to renovate the kitchen and add a breakfast booth and mud room.

Bathroom Hall West Wall This hallway on the second floor is going to look quite a bit different. There will be only one door (instead of the 2 doors and wood access hatch at the top of the stairs) and even that one door is going to slide down a little for the new bathroom sink/vanity.

Bathroom South West Wall Existing bathroom. It's only about 4 feet wide and that plastic curtain is over a small, short shower. The brick is the actual chimney for the house. Ugly! Bathroom South West Wall

Bedroom South West Wall This is a small Bedroom South West Wall

This is a small "bedroom" that is probably 10 feet square. We never really did much with it -- it's alternately been a study, storage space, for 18 months it was an office two employees worked in. It will be the main part of the new bathroom (the old bathroom is on the otherside of this wall)

Basement South West Wall The south basement wall is going to be removed because there is new basement back there. This is very good news as the south basement wall is about ready to fall in. Basement South West Wall

Basement South Wall You can see the door to the exterior here. This door seems to have been added to the house in the late 40s, back when the house had was three apartments (the basement was the 3rd). Pics we have from the early 1930s clearly show there was no basement door originally. Basement South Wall
