While this house started with only 2 bedrooms, we wanted it to be a 3 bedroom home. It's better for resale, whether they are used for sleeping or a dedicated office space. 2 bedroom houses just aren't as popular. And since the old living room wasn't really used for anything but laundry (an odd use!) - it was a perfect candidate for bedroom number 3.

But it was a big job. For the bedroom, we closed off the front door, added a new double window and created a closet.
To create a bathroom, we had to enclose the former garbage can alcove - which meant digging a frost wall and building a new exterior wall. It had an oddly low ceiling, so we tore that out and raised it to create a cathedral ceiling.

| Don't you love the molding around the door? Big change from the Plain Jane time we started with! |
And wouldn't you love to relax in the bedroom?
What a difference!!
