December 27, 2012

looking through some pictures today....promised to do some before
and after pictures of the house and some of the rooms....

all of the BEFORE pictures are dated October 1995


 all of the AFTER pictures were taken today...
we added an eight foot wrap around porch on the main  level
and a four foot porch around the cupola




we left the kitchen area exactly the same... 
just added a bigger porch out front


Master Bedroom...steps up to the Cupola...


everything was redone and the ceiling was raised...
the room is still not finished...only because we can't decide
what we want to do on the floor.


Master Bathroom


this room isn't finished either....we want to add a window
on the back wall and raise the ceiling....we did add
a sink and a Jacuzzi tub back in 1995


the Parlor then...
the floors were Pine.....we redid every floor in the house with
5 inch Oak planks.


and today...


standing in the Parlor looking into the front room...
we wish we would have kept these Parlor Doors...



standing in the Front Room looking up the stairs
and into the main floor guest bedroom


we had to enlarge the opening going up the stairs...
we couldn't fit a queen size mattress through the original opening...


standing in the kitchen area looking into the dining area....
the door on the left goes into the main house...
the door on the right goes into the bathroom..

the kitchen cabinets were the standard set you buy from
the Sears Catalog....we are using them in Mikes Bunkhouse
in the back of the property

 

we added the pantry doors to hold all the canned goods


this is from the dining area looking into what would become
the kitchen...you can see that the floor slopes down badly....
this is the room that they would bring the cows into during
the winter to milk...

we had to build a new floor and we put in a breakfast bar
to divide the 2 rooms...


we kept the vaulted ceiling in the dining area, but lowered
the ceiling in the kitchen area


Pleasant Dreams!!!
