Saving claw foot tub
The master bedroom was the original detached kitchen. It was remodeled many years ago, and was attached to the house by a cedar closet. This space will be completely remodeled, exposing the fireplace, and reworking the bathroom, with an addition of his and hers closets. The small porch off this bedroom will be enlarged to include a twin bed swing to be constructed by Jordan.
Abatement
Ceiling removed in preparation for construction
September 6, 2014
Back wall has been removed exposing the fireplace, and the ceiling has been vaulted. The closet has been stripped, and converted into two parts: a hallway connecting the Master Bedroom into the Great Hall, and a cozy study for Mike and I. A window will be added to the study for inspiration and breathing room.

The fuse box will be moved to the basement. Wouldn’t you hate to rewire that mass of wires?

Since this was once the kitchen, the floor was plain. We placed pine throughout for uniformity.
