Before:  this one-story portion of the home was a mudroom/ covered porch.  The pergola and wisteria were temporarily removed for construction, then repositioned against the new two-story addition.

Before:  the new second story addition will connect the original home (on the right) to the more recent wing (on the right).  Windows will be removed and replaced with doors.

After:  the owner wanted the second story to look like it was originally a covered porch that had been enclosed, with windows filling in the spaces between original porch posts.  The twin windows on the left are in a new bathroom; the other three sets are in a sunroom accessible from the original and more recent second story wings. 

After:  this used to be the kitchen!  The windows flanking the fireplace are new.  The fireplace is original and was concealed behind old kitchen cabinets. 

After:  the kitchen is where the covered porch/mudroom was previously.  Some of the original porch ceiling was reused on the back side of the new kitchen cabinets.  The original wall was replaced with a beam. 

After:  even though this kitchen is narrow it's very functional, even for a two-cook household that regularly throws large parties.
