Brick fireplace wall, extended to edge of room, now includes wood storage compartment. Music, magazines, books, indoor and some outdoor games and many other small items are housed in entry wall extension between dining and living rooms. Partitions of vertical 2x4s make decorative louvred screens separating piano from entry, and banquette in living room from bedroom hall.
Bedroom and "dog wagon" walls were pushed out to give more living space, better exterior elevation. Corner window had to go, but two added to living room frame view even better. Kurt Versen side lights, inset in ceiling, light terrace as well as living room. String rugs roll up easily for dancing. Armstrong's beige, marbleized floors show few footprints. Rust, marbleized Kentile in entry and kitchen.
