Before Gallery - Our First Renovation

These photos show the house when we bought it and our first renovation project:

This is the front of the house not long after we bought it.
It's still hard to take a photo of the front of the house- there are so many trees.

The back of the house - before
One of the first things we did was build a deck. We were living in the basement (tenants occupied the 2nd floor) and needed a place to hang out.

We installed 8' wide sliding doors for access to the back yard, and new casement windows where we planned to relocate the kitchen.

We removed a wall that separated the living room from a bedroom and framed out the new beam as an elongated archway. The adjoining spaces became living and dining areas.













New floor to ceiling openings (to be filled with panes of insulated glass) frame views of the trees.
Drywall!
