New Study
Doorway from Study into Bedroom
The old door and jamb from the original porch were moved upstairs to provide an entrance from the master bedroom to the new study. The brick walls are where the original house ended.
New Bump-Out in Master Bedroom
A new bump-out added light and space to this once smallish room.
The room also got a makeover: repaired and painted plaster walls and ceiling, new lights and ceiling fan, refinished oak floor.
Door to Hallway
This view is from the study door. You can see by the soffit on the right where the old room ended.
View from Hallway
Oak flooring was laid in the bump-out to match the old flooring. You can see the new study through the doorway in the middle of the picture.
