Now, the new interior…

Looking down the new hallway:

 

 

The new "family room" (Oscar stands guard; we hope to off the brick soon):

Looking toward the kitchen & living room from the entry to the new master suite:

 

The new front entry (note that the addition is 10 degrees off the old grid—and that it's a wide-angle shot):

 

 

More of the new living room:

One part of Bob's new study:

Another shot of Margaret's study:

 

That's all… Oh, no! There's more: the kitchen, renovated in June, 2005
by Alan Hedstrom (Margaret's amazingly skilled brother) and Heidi Sobanja,
his sweetie, who's an accomplished artist as well as an ace assistant.

So let's start with the "before" pictures…

Rather dumpy, eh? Design sins by accretion. (Keep your eye on that stained glass window
over the sink, as you'll see it again)

More…

OK, have some Rolaids, if you wish. Now, for the work-in-progress:

Yup—That's Al and Heidi hard at work. They did the whole job, gutted to the studs,
in a mere 15 days. Yes, it can be done, but it requires miracle-workers.

Now, the fruits of their labor…

The remodeled "half-bath" (thanks to Michael Rosenfeld for the art work!)

Yes, it's the same room! (note the window in the door)

Looking toward the family room

Looking the opposite direction, at the opposite side

Looking toward the sun porch (which Bob renovated in Summer, 2004)

The tall item is the fridge. OK, we admit, some of the design was framed around that ca. 1900 hoosier

And, lastly, a look at the hoosier again and, on the right, a kiosk
space for depositing the stuff carried in from the garage.

Thank's all, folks. Thanks for your attention. Peace.
