The front living room. My dad had been hoarding those columns (for years) which were a little broken but with a little refurbishing and some reshaping, it turned out quite nicely for the entrance. The light comes in beautifully around midday.
Bathroom designed and built entirely by the old man. Getting the used (but in great shape) shower form in that space was a special project, especially when we had to pull it back out and shave about a half inch off the frame to get it to fit.
My favourite part of this house was definitely the galley kitchen. Tons of light splashes on the country yellow walls through a large sink window and sliding back door. Used hardwood cupboards, repurposed to fit this setup. Every nook and cranny of them were sanded down and repainted a nice elegant white with full Butcherblock counter top with undermounted sink. It's got a nice feel to cook a great large meal.
The back deck that comes off the kitchen. Refaced this deck while it was (somehow) both raining and snowing. Suffice it to say, I slipped while standing on the joists that are about 3 feet off the ground and slammed my plums. It was a commitment to check the structural strength of the deck!
The two top half storey bedrooms. My dad did a great job re purposing the closet doors on this level that came from the original closet from the entrance way.
