Living room, with fireplace. Some of the image pairs were convertible into mini-panoramas, though not this one. Read on to see the others. Panoramas are the clever work of Tim Stough.
The dining room is a lovely warm sandstone color. The door shown on the left opens to a side porch. Below, you can see various views of the entire room. The (pull-down) ladder in the hallway is the access to the attic, which is partially finished and currently used as a work room/storage area.
Looking down the hallway into the master bedroom, you can see how it extends into the office area (once a sun porch -- lots of windows!). This room is a soft yellow (the owners wanted each room to be a different color).
Below is the office/sun room. The windows look directly onto the front gardens, and this room has its own exterior door onto the porch. Beautiful!
This is the second bedroom (currently shared by two boys). The two exterior walls are covered with windows -- three to a side.
The bathroom is large for when it was built. There is a pedestal sink, two bright windows, and a shower/tub. The large mirror is the door to the world's largest medicine cabinet, and beneath it is a little bench which lifts up to reveal a storage space beneath it. This room currently features nine mirrors, in addition to the large one on the door.
Finally, here is the kitchen! The floor tile is a rosy pink color, and the walls are a pale green. The image to the left shows the laundry room and back door onto the patio. The image to the right shows the small "pullman" kitchen, a little walled-off room connected to the kitchen where you might have a breakfast nook.
The view through the kitchen windows shows the back patio and the south side of the garage. Check out the cabinet handles and drawer pulls!
