But it wasn't an easy transformation. It included major structural engineering challenges, lots of new construction, all new everything and of course the stairway to the amazing rooftop deck.

The front bedroom saw some of the biggest changes as we enlarged the room and raised the roofline.

The middle bedroom got a major makeover. We turned it 90 degrees (to make room for the new bathroom and laundry), raised the ceiling and installed large double windows - to capture the morning light.

And the new hall bath has lots of features, including a custom countertop, towel warmer and marble floor.

The back bedroom is totally new construction (so no 'before' photos!). With 3 windows, it's a bright, light space.
And the master suite? Well that's all new construction, because it's located above the new garage and mudroom. Isn't it a lovely space?

I'd be curious to see your exterior shots- before and after!
ReplyDeleteIf you hit the Home tab, just scroll down to the post about the 1st floor and you'll see the exterior. It's changed a bit!!!! :-)
DeleteLove the time work in the master shower!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your next project! Whoever stages your homes is a genius--they look so fresh and spacious (lots of that is down to the design too, I realize!)
ReplyDeleteLove it! How did you do the window treatment in the back bedroom? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Janice - here's the link to the post for making the appliqués for the window treatments, http://www.sopocottage.com/2017/03/cabin-fever-kids-rooms.html. To assemble them, I simply cut plywood boards, wrapped them in quilt batting, and stapled the fabric to the backside. Super easy!!
DeleteHi there! I love everything about this house!! Where is the master bathroom sink faucet from? (the cross handles) Thanks!
