Inside
the Luzanne house |
mid-
November 2000 |
July
2004 |
This is the 2
car garage. Notice the high ceilings and window in back. The garage
needs repair for water damage and pests. We may replace the
window with a garage door that will open onto a slab for doing messy
projects out of site from the front of the house. |
The garage is
packed full of stuff. You don't need to see a picture!

View
of the 700 sq ft basement looking across to studio door way in back.
This will probably be 2 rooms, dance studio and an office, plus
a full bath and kitchenette. The plumbing for the bath is
already there. The washer and dryer will be down here also. Hopefull
we can keep the cool laundry shoot somehow.The french drain needed
to fix the winter wetness and flooding that collects on the floor
will be done right away. |
|
Sophia is standing
on the stairs that go up to the kitchen . We may move them
to make the kitchen larger. |
|
This is the end
of the basement that we may turn into a dance studio. The french
drain will go behind the visable shelves on the left.
|
|
George is walking
into the kitchen. Behind him, you are looking into the living room
and dining area.
|
|
Here you are
standing where George was in the above picture and looking out the
kitchen door onto the patio. |
So far, we painted
the kitchen white, replaced the appliances, hardware, and lights.
We still need to figuire out how and which direction we will enlarge
the kitchen. Meanwhile, I've got to get rid of that ugly flooring! |
Mid, the present
owner, is putting away her stuff so they won't be in the picture.
The grand piano will probably go at far end. I'm standing in
the dining area. |
Under that avocado
shag carpet was a hardwood floor! |
The railing visable
out side the window is just a catwalk at this point so you can clean
the windows. To the left is the front door. |
|
The gas fireplace.
Under the carpet is hardwood floors. Eventually the tired wood panaling
will go. |
That's a new
gas fireplace insert and fan. Presently it's the only heat in the
house. Those built in shelves aren't adequate for music or much
else. The
brick hearth runs all the way down behind the piano. It's gotta
go! This room will probably be one of the last projects and priorities. |
The master bedroom
has only a half bath but a shower can be added fairly easily, either
inside in area visable to near right or out onto the patio side
on the back of the house. French doors will probably replace the
widnows you see here and will lead you out onto a private deck with
a spa. |
|
Hallway.
The far door looks into the master bedroom. The kitchen is near
left, livingroom far left, 1 bedroom on right, full bath just behind
me and to right, and another bedroom behind me. |
The avocado shag
carpet is gone and we tried to paint over the avo wallpaper as a
temporary fix. |
This bedroom
looks to the back of the house. Supposedly it is the warmest room
in the house. |

Sophia's room with her grandmother's bed. |
This is
the only full bath at present. It is very yellow but fine for now! |
|
The other
bedroom looks out onto the patio. More french doors will probably
be put in here. |

Michel's room. |
