Rejoicing in anticipation!
A light, sunny room!
The hall and fire escape door which was mandated by law for a business. Because we are using the second floor as our private residence, we can loose this door, put in a window and make another storage room area. The door opens up to a 30 foot fall - Gives me the creeps!!!
View from the large room at the end of the hall, looking back down to the radiator. this will probably be our TV / fun room for hobbies, etc.
The space! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
