Demolition

Today was demolition day (it involved disturbing asbestos, so we had to stay away).
Bye-bye floral wallpaper (we've already started researching new floral wallpaper to replace it for Katie, maybe just a feature wall).

Bye-bye wood panelling!

Bye-bye lino!

Bye-bye branch banister.

More "befores" - extension and 2nd storey


More of Andrew's photos.
former kitchen, will become den. Scullery in background will become bathroom with shower.


Extension: kitchen will be on one end....


craft area, desk, and storage on the other. French door and nice window to replace these.



closet hanging over stairs will come out, making a brighter, more open stairway.


It was cheaper to buy a new bigger claw foot, cast iron tub from vintagetub.com than it was to have this one refinished. Anyone want an old cast-iron tub?


Master bedroom with back door that will eventually lead to upper deck, with not-bad views of downtown, as Amy pointed out.



Fifi's room. The girls really, really wanted their own rooms. There was, thankfully, no debate: Fifi chose this one with a door leading to the front balcony, and....




 ...Katie chose this smaller one with a window leading to the same balcony and the floral wallpaper that she wants to keep. : )
