The front bedroom got a dramatic change when we opened up the doorway that led to the attic. The addition of this space and the extra window really transformed the room. We also added a closet (oddly, it didn't have one before) and the built in shelving.

Eliminating the wall & door to let the additional window be part of the bedroom made it so much brighter!! |

The back bedroom isn't large, but it's such a sweet room. After more hours than I care to remember stripping wallpaper and what seemed like hundreds of upholstery tacks (seriously, what were they for???),
we painted the walls, added a custom radiator cover and decorated the room with a nautical theme.
We had to take 2 feet from this closet wall to expand the bathroom - but it didn't have much impact on the bedroom.
And the biggest change? The new bathroom at the top of the stairs.

This is the space that was turned into the new hall bathroom |

A glass tile feature stripe really brightens up the room! |
