Sitting Room/Nursery:

Before: The condition of the room before we purchased the house. Yes, that is an exposed brick wall with a fireplace that had been closed up.

After: Sitting room with the wardrobe installed and the floors finished.

Before: he results of many years of water damage from the 3rd floor roof. We experienced this water leak first hand in February 1999, the weekend before the drywall was to be hung.

After: This is the same part of ceiling as was shown in the previous image.

1 of 2 rooms that need to be finished yet.

This one of the two rooms where the paint has to be removed. It is also our work room for building a couple of cabinets.

Looking from the master bedroom into the sitting room…we've got a little ways to go before this becomes the nursery! The wardrobe will sit on the far wall and will be a very sensitive addition to the house. It will incorporate the same trim details as seen on all the doors in the house, with a comparable stained finish.

The wardrobe is being installed.
