Let the demolition begin...

In lieu of the construction team actually starting the project, Emma and Audrey got the ball rolling! Or the sledge hammer as the case maybe...

Bedroom - November 2009

This wall will be remodeled to include a new window with seat and two closets on either side of the window.

Staircase - November 2009

I think you can see why we are reconstructing/reconfiguring the staircase...

Study (piano room) - November 2009

The new staircase will come down the wall where the bookcases are currently located. The staircase will not be open to this room.

Living Room - November 2009

The wall to the right of the fireplace will no longer be there. This will be the landing for the new staircase.

Dining Room - November 2009

The wall with the side-by-side door openings will no longer be there. Instead, the new staircase will come down along this wall. The stairs will be open to the dining room.
