{the renovation} porch enclosure

One of the biggest changes we made to our little cottage was closing in the side porch.  I still am unsure why the house had two “front doors”: one leading to a largely useless 8′x11′ entry room, and the other leading directly into the main living area.  For the size of the house – around 1100 square feet – the entry room was space waste, and closing in the side porch would give us valuable space for very little cash.

Wanna see it?!  Ta da!!!

Need a reminder of what it used to look like?

You’ll notice we also had the overgrown bushes pulled out.

Now obligatory pictures from multiple angles:

Here are a few shots from the inside to show how the space is now opened up:

This whole room will be the kitchen/dining/entry:

So there it is, the porch closed in!  Doing this has totally transformed the space.  I can’t wait to see the drywall hung and can lights in…and trim up…and kitchen cabinets in place…and floors refinished…
