April 13th. Finally, here are pictures of the finished addition. The first picture (below right) is a view standing by the garage with a view of the bedroom addition in the fo
reground and the screened porch at the back. The bay window is the prominent feature from this angle. In the next photo (first photo at left) I'm standing in the middle of the backyard looking directly toward the back of the house. There are steps that lead either up to the porch or down to the basement and a small open-air section of the porch. I've been thinking it would be nice to install a arbor in this recess bet
ween the two roof lines (between the bedroom and porch additions). Then let a trumpet vine grow up the arbor and place a small table for two in the little niche of open-air porch space to create an intimate french bistro setting for enjoying wine and cheese lunches in the summer under the shade of a beautiful arbor of flowers and buzzing bees.

The next photo (below left) is the opposite angle of the first photo featuring the screened porch in the foreground and the bedroom addition toward the rear. There is hay covering the ground and some grass has started to sprout. The landscaping will be a long-term project. We've started moving some furniture onto the porch...a futon and a collection of mismatched chairs. It isn't quite developed yet and will take so
me time to come together. We need to install sunshades and stain the wood, but we'll have all summer to do those chores. We've been able to use the porch on warmer days but it has still been pretty cool.
me time to come together. We need to install sunshades and stain the wood, but we'll have all summer to do those chores. We've been able to use the porch on warmer days but it has still been pretty cool. On the inside I installed a new faucet in the bathroom and have still to make a small decorative back splash behind the sink and a radiator cover--then that room will be done. I've begun working on the front bedroom; so far I've striped the old wallpaper off the walls, patched the walls and ceiling, and painted the walls and trim to match the rest of the house. I also installed a new light fixture and moved or replaced some the electrical outlets to be consistent with the bedroom addition. I'll be painting the doors next and installing carpet at some point to complete the transformation
of the front bedroom into a home office/guest room.
of the front bedroom into a home office/guest room.Here are few photos of the bedroom which we are enjoying but as far as decorating is still a work-in-progress. First, Jane's closet (at right) followed by two pictures of the room standing in the doorway. The first picture is looking the left and the second is swept to the right.
