Study

We call it the study...we like to give big names to small rooms. Because we took the dividing wall down it is now wholy visible from the kitchen and vise versa.



We started with...





And the result





What we did...

• 
  Removed old ceiling (pictures show the change in one day), raised to underside of roof rafters. We had to double up the support beams for the dormer, that is the reason that the ceiling has such a funky profile. (Summer 2005)
• Removal of wall seperating kitchen and study. (Summer 2005)
• Added recessed lighting. (Summer 2005)
• Installed blueboard and hired a plaster. (Fall 2005)
• Added, repaired and scraped window trim (January 2007)
• Installed beadboard. (Spring 2006)
• 
  Removal of carpet and scrapping of old linoleum to reveal original fir. (Spring '07)
• Painted...then repainted. (Spring '06 & April '07)
• Sanding and refinishing fir. Inlaying oak to hide gap left by removal of wall and to tie the two floors together. (May 2007)
