The 'Before' Floorplans

It seems that I've missed filling all of you in on the actual layout of the house...a must when you're envisioning what it's like (and not slogging through it every day like us).

Here's the main floor:

This floor is home to a poorly laid out kitchen area, with an odd family room placement at the end. There's a glass sliding door that leads out to the rotting deck, but you can overlook it by staring out at the ravine view instead. (The yellow window I highlighted is actually a bay window shape, and not straight as shown above.)

The second floor:

Three bedrooms are up on the second floor. The walk-in closet off the master was originally home to a teetering wall of dog crates (smelly!). The closet situation in the two smaller bedrooms are not so great -- too long and a mishmash of shelves were inside.

Tomorrow I'll post our new plans, so you can see our grand ideas!
