This was a dining room with a brick wall in it

The old dining room

with very bad quality in more ways than one

The orignal back door in the dining room. It was

the only door that had a facing

The view from the dining room that looked

into the living room

The old back door that was glued shut

and had a 3ft drop on the other side.

The original kitchen as it was

This is the old kictchen that I turned

into my art/work room

Lovely ivy wall paper with a little dirt

in the old kitchen

This is a bedroom it had one small window

and really bad floors, 4 kinds of wallpaper

Just before the first layer of stain went on

It took me several weeks on a stool with a belt sander

The door to the bathroom had no frame for 3 years

I was waiting to make my own trim with reclaimed wood

Hall doors had no facings and badly painted

only one door in this house had a facing

My bathtub was enclosed with formica paneling

and wood behind that

Hot water tank in the bathroom

Also doubles as a kitty box closet

Bad pic of a bad room I had to replace the

drywall around the window and ceiling too

This was the view in the summer and fall

This is the roof over my screened in deck

Now the new view from the front door

Same view better quality all around. Hand stained

cabinets and granite countertops installed my me.

Again, custom trim from reclaimed wood. The doors

were faux painted as all the other doors were

What was dark, dirty and dreary

is clean, bright and open with vaulted ceilings

The same view now standing in the new kitchen

looking in the living room

Now has a new door and a screened in deck

and a place for the dogs to nap

Green cabinets gone, yellow walls. The counters

and cabinets have been moved 3 times in 7 years

The ugly cabinets are now gone and room painted

I replaced the frame around the exsiting window

Wall paper is gone and now has yelllow paint

a place for my water saw and a big sink

Now has a much bigger window, nice green paint

the sofa is a folding bed/futon, the chair was FREE

Cool green paint and freshly stained floors

with layers of cherry stain and poly

Now has custom made wood frame from reclaimed

lumber, knotty pine 1 x 12's ripped to fit each door.

Now the hall doors are trimed and the doors

were faux painted in cherry stain

Now sits a 10 jet tub, took me 2 years to get this

I replaced the old tub with simple tub and shower until I could get the Jacquzzi

The tank is behind the curtain and shelves too

The cabinet was recycled from my mothers house.

Now a better pic and better room. I love my

stove in the corner, it is propane and heats great

Now this is the view after cutting the trees- Nice

The new screened in deck
