So we started trying to decide how to renovate our house (a 900 square foot "rambler" built in 1951) to create a little more space, add a bathroom and give me a larger kitchen.
We came up with the plan to add an upstairs. Then we started drawing the plans to configure the new space that we were planning to add. Then we discovered that with all that new space we could also re-configure the downstairs. After that the project took on a life of its own.
What started out as a way to add a little space turned into a complete overhaul of the above-ground portion of the house.
This is the opening entry, and with it some pictures of the exterior of the house as it stood in the beginning. Take note of the flagstone patio in the front. We lifted that and put it back down outside the back door where you see the river rock and stepping stones.
