The "Other House" Part II -- Living Room and Bedrooms

The story of the living room and front bedroom:
The previous owner, for some unknown reason, decided to make this small two-bedroom house a small one-bedroom house by removing a wall. In the first two pictures you can see how it looked when we bought it. First looking at the living room, then at the bedroom area, with the wall missing. It made a very large living room, for no good reason, and certainly didn't help the value of the house any. Also, the windows through the whole house were awful. When Ray took off the trim on one of them, the window fell out. That's how well they were put it.










So Ray put the wall back in. It was really a good thing because the guy had done some weird things with electrical wires and such when he took the wall out. These next two pictures are of the living room now. First looking from the kitchen doorway towards the front door, then looking back towards the kitchen/bedroom doors. Along with the new wall and windows, we painted and put in carpet.













Now the bedrooms. On the right I have a picture of the front bedroom, the one that was created again when Ray put the wall back in. It has a very small closet, as you can see, we couldn't find a way to make that bigger. But it also has direct access to the bathroom -- the bathroom has another door from the kitchen. On the left is a picture of the back bedroom. I don't have a before picture because when we bought it it was just an empty room with a small window and no closet. Ray really changed things in the back. There was a very odd room in the house that was too small for a room, really, but bigger than a closet -- very poorly used space. Ray split it and created a nice walk-in closet for the back bedroom (you can see the mirrored closet doors in the picture) and a good-size pantry for the kitchen. We painted and added carpet to both bedrooms, as well.
