Originally, the house’s floor plan was a rabbit warren of spaces. Redesigned and modestly expanded, it became more open and felt more spacious. Even so, rooms remain distinct while melding with others. The windows, French doors, and winter garden let in fresh air and light.
The Wish List
• Add French doors to link the interior of the house more closely to outdoor areas
• Strip exterior walls of their worn quarter-inch plywood veneer
• Reconfigure interior spaces by removing walls to create more open, sunlit areas; paint remaining walls in light
tones
• Install decorative woodwork in several rooms to create an illusion of height
• Replace one standard window with a bay window extension to visually widen the narrow living room
• Restore and repaint the garage, adding a new working door and antique architectural embellishments.
