Autumn: \u00a0Autumn<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday I wrote a post to reveal the before photos of the first floor in our new townhouse. \u00a0Today I would like to take you on a tour of the second floor.<\/h3>\n

Our new digs had 2700 square feet plus an unfinished basement, three-car garage, three bedrooms and 3 1\/2 baths. \u00a0In order to make the space work for us, we are rearranging and repurposing rooms during the total remodel. \u00a0We have added a laundry room to the second floor, finished the basement and added another bath and storage area down there which added more square feet, and converted the first floor bedroom into my husband’s office.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a view of the guest room. \u00a0The second thing we kept from the previous owner was the built-in bookshelves and cabinet. \u00a0I think it will be a great changing area if\/when we ever get grandchildren. (Jordan, can you hear me?) \u00a0We changed the hardware, and \u00a0painted the unit Sherwin Williams pure white semi-gloss enamel along with all of the moldings and \u00a0new doors. \u00a0We removed the carpet and replaced it with hardwood and removed the ceiling fan. \u00a0The left hand corner now has a closet area suggested by the architect. \u00a0He said it should be near the bath, which is through the door on the end, so that our guests will have a dressing area. \u00a0When I took the photo, I was standing in front of the large closet that we converted to a laundry room.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the same view with the previous owner’s guest bed.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a bad shot of the guest bath. \u00a0We replaced all the tile in here with honed carrera marble, and added heating elements to the floor.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We bought new cabinets and new honed black granite countertops. \u00a0We also eliminated the wallpaper, added a sky light, and bead board. \u00a0The guest bath and the bath adjacent to my husband’s office are twins. \u00a0We took out the tub in the office bath and added a honed marble shower.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a peak into the old master bath. \u00a0To the right behind the door is the shower. \u00a0The previous owner had a huge shoe closet in an area behind the sink, seen on the left. \u00a0We tore out the walls and incorporated that space into our new bath. \u00a0By today’s standards, it is still a somewhat small master bath, but we both have separate sink area, I have a make-up area, we have storage, a toilet, a bidet (can’t live without one!) and a large steam shower.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I called this shower head “the rain forest.” \u00a0It, too, ended up at the Habitat Restore, along with practically everything else.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the shoe closet that is now part of our master bath.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The master bedroom only had this one closet, but there was a huge area of wasted space at the top of the stairs. \u00a0We were able to move walls and doorways to make a nice walk-in closet for Mr. Autumn. \u00a0We are both excited because they are being outfitted by a closet designer this week.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That is not the moon. \u00a0It is a light that we got rid of, along with the old stair railing on the left. \u00a0This door used to be the entrance into the guest room closet area, but by moving the closet, we were able to make it into an 8 x 8 feet laundry room. \u00a0The entrance to the guest room is now on the right.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There you can see the guest walk-in closet. \u00a0We tore out the wall and moved it to the other side of the window you see. \u00a0That created the laundry room space.<\/h3>\n

Sorry, I thought there were before photos of the master bedroom, but I can’t find them. \u00a0It was similar to the guest room but larger. \u00a0It, too, had a ceiling fan (now gone), carpet (now hardwood) and shelves (now gone).<\/h3>\n

Hope you enjoyed the before tour of the second floor.<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
