BEFORE & AFTER: MAGNOLIA BEDROOM
I just came across these photos the other day and was struck by the transformation. What do you think?

| BEFORE February 2011 |

| AFTER December 2012 |
I've been told this 2nd story room on the north side of the house was used as the family room by the previous owners. It is now my daughter's bedroom.

No lack of auditory stimulation in this house. You name a music genre, he probably has at least a "taste" of it. I hear tell there is a form of cataloging to the collection but I have not figured it out yet.

It is now safe to traverse this stairway. In fact, it is my favorite route to take each morning to the kitchen below.

BEFORE & AFTER: LITTLE SINK
Remember this little sink of mine?

The chrome was replated here in Richmond, Va. at Hanlon Plating Company, most known for their work on restoring chrome on vintage cars and motorcycles. They also did the claw feet on our tub.

A PEEK INTO MY NEW KITCHEN
It is time for another BEFORE and AFTER post. Warning: Extremely squeamish souls might want to scroll down fast or skip this post altogether. Mind you, I have not posted a couple of the worst 'before' photos because my stomach tends to heave when I look at them.
BEFORE

| Sink - March 2011 |

Now, try to ignore the cleaning and construction clutter on the counter tops as you grab a peak of the 'after'.

BEFORE & AFTER
I am a fan of the before and after shot, especially when there is such a dramatic change. There will be many such comparisons with this house. Here is just one to get started...
BASEMENT WINDOWS...BEFORE
BASEMENT WINDOWS...AFTER
The windows are new replacement windows and the brick bays we have had built using the old brick from the collapsing chimneys. We think the brick mason did a great job matching the style of the original foundation. Not only has this renovation resulted in a more pleasing aesthetic, but also it has made the house more secure and protected from rains.
* Note : The drip cap and trim above the windows is also new. Large sections of the original trim had rotted due to long time water damage (see the repair here). We had the original trim duplicated and Wallace, Donnie and I installed it.
