| Those leaves are going to be fun next fall. |
 |
| The top of the screened-in porch is a walk-out from the master suite, it would later get a railing. |
 |
| I think a cedar roof would suit this house. |
 |
| I picked out the door color. I'm waiting for my "Why am I the only one gentrifying this neighborhood?" doormat to arrive |
 |
| What were we thinking?! |
 |
| Oh, now that's better. |
 |
| The fence and balcony will be painted white this summer. Hopefully the bushes below the windows grow. |
 |
| This was a walkthrough that we walled off. |
 |
| The stair opening would become the home for our new range. |
 |
| That fluorescent lighting had to go. |
 |
| New custom cabinets with glass tops and accent lighting all on dimmers. |
 |
| Cubby for the new fridge. |
 |
| Galley style kitchen |
 |
| Flowers, keeping it classy. |
 |
| I staged some cilantro in this shot and using the copper pan to boil some hotdog water. |
 |
| POT FILLA! |
 |
| I picked out the cabinet hardware, that and the front door color - pretty much my only contribution to the whole project. |

| To the left is a cutout to what would become the master bath |
 |
| This was taken opened up to what would be come the walk-in closet |
 |
| This was just open space, a wall was put in and the Master Bath was added |
 |
| The opening was the original door to the bathroom upstairs. It was covered and a wall was added next to the stairs. The stair railing to the right used also be where the studs are in this photo. |
 |
| Originally this room was, by far, the largest. However, the way the 2nd floor was set up it didn't make sense to designate it the Master suite. The adjoining bedroom was next to an open space with easy hookups for water, which made it easy to add a master bath on the 2nd floor. We decided to steal some of this space so the adjoining room could have a walk-in closet. The adjoining room became the master bedroom and this room, even with the sacrificed space, is still a good sized guest room. The door goes to the walkout balcony, it was covered. |
 |
| This room even with the space it gave up still has a great layout. I don't like rooms without a good place for a bed or TV. |

| Check out the dirt curtains framing the doors. |
 |
| No more 'dirt curtains' and we changed the doors to French doors |
 |
| The candle holder was a gift from my Danish employers LINDBERG; it's a Kubus Candle holder designed by Danish Architect Mogens Lassen. It really suits the modern, country house look we were trying to get throughout the home. |
 |
| We have purchased some Danish influenced chairs (not pictured) for the dinning room. We hope to have them along with a reclaimed wood dining table soon. |
 |
| The chandelier pictured was one of the lighting fixtures from our original lighting plan. Sybil found it at Lowes and I really like it's simple look. We put dimmers on every switch throughout the home (even the outdoor lights) and this fixture looks awesome while dimmer at night. Very romantic while eating chili dogs and watching highlights on ESPN. |
 |
We did a lot to the hallways, there was a good amount of open space just out of the frame. This would later turn into a master bathroom. |

| Hello. Sybil is peaking her head out of the upstairs guest bathroom. |
