the tour

This is the house as it stood when I closed escrow...

 The living room is my favorite part of the house...those windows?!

 This view is from the front door through the dining room to the kitchen...pay close attention to that wall.

 This view is from the back of the house through the kitchen.

This one is the front of the kitchen to the back of the house where there is a tiny bathroom.

 
This is the only other bathroom...the tile. Sigh. The. TILE.

And the tiny vanity beneath the window.

In short, all this must GO. (Except my gorgeous front room). We started last week and this is what we're planning:

• The wall between the kitchen and the dining room must go 
• The galley kitchen will now be wide open (all those doorways are a thing of the past) 
• The door from the side of the house moves to the back  

I struggled with the bathroom - to leave it and deal with it later or just to gut it now.

It turns out gutting it now, while the workers are already there is less expensive. So, out it goes.

And that's all the work you can see...more on what you can't see later. Stay Tuned!
