St. Andrews Interior

I want everybody to see pictures of St. Andrews in all its glory before any of the demo starts.  Built in 1945, we bought this house from the estate of the original owners. When I say that this house is in its original state... I mean NOTHING has been updated. It is completely original!! 


You can see that the only thing that has changed in the kitchen is the addition of the dishwasher.  Also, at some point the original stove broke and they replaced it with this tiny one.

This is the sunroom. It was originally a porch that they had enclosed at some point. They left these sweet planters, so if anybody wants some aloe plants you're welcome to them.

This is the current dining room. We are going to be combining the kitchen, sunroom, and dining room into one big kitchen/great room!! 

The living room is a really nice sized room. The whole first floor has tall ceilings and big windows. All of the hardwood had carpet over it except for two of the three downstairs bedrooms. In all of these pictures the floors look pretty good but there are a few spots that are going to need some patching. We commonly have to do this and we have wonderful floor guys so you can't even tell the difference when they are done.









This bathroom is in good shape but will be updated with new wall tile and fixtures. The floor tile is in excellent condition and can be salvaged. It is shared by two of the downstairs bedrooms.














This is the current master bath, there is a shower to the right of the sink. 


After renovations this bathroom won't even exist. We are actually turning part of it into a closet. 


We are adding a master suite wing on the southeast corner of the house, which will obviously be a step up from the current master.










This is one of the three downstairs bedrooms. It has two closets and is good sized.
This is the current master which will just be a regular guest bedroom when we are done. It currently has two closets and one bath. When we are done it will have two closets and share the hall bathroom with the above bedroom.








This is the current third bedroom downstairs. It will be the new dining room. We are completely reconfiguring it and changing the doorways. Right now it opens off of the bedroom hallway. When we are done it will have an opening on the wall by this window that will open it to the foyer. It will also have an opening to the great room. 








I didn't even take any pictures of the upstairs or the garage that has been converted to a den, which by the way we will be converting it back to garage.  I've gone a bit long already, so I'll share more on a later post.
