Gallery of HomesThiele Remodel The porch provides shelter from a sudden shower, or a place to rest and chat with neighbors after the day's gardening is done. The original house had a front porch, but without character:
The ceiling in the living room was raised to a shallow vault, tying in nicely with the new arched entryway. Beyond, the foyer and stair to the lower level were carved out of a former bedroom.
The classic kitchen overlooks the rear garden, and a new bump-out incorporates a sunny area with room for kids to hang out and guests to sit and talk to the cook.
Adding 16 feet to the west side of the home allowed space for a family room with a cozy window seat, and access to the front porch. This new wing also houses the master bedroom on this level.
On the previously unfinished lower level, two new bedrooms make the most of the space in the 16-foot addition. Beams and decking allow for more visual height where the ceilings are low.
These photos of the rear of the house before and after the remodel show how just changing finish materials can alter the feeling of warmth from the outside:
