... the front room (overview)

Front room

How the front room changed between 2008 and today:

  • The empty front room as seen from the hall ...
  • ... and from the lanai
  • Camping ...
  • ... before the furniture arrived
  • Sofas, tables and ...
  • ... a comfortable chair to read in ...
  • ... and the tv are there already
  • A colour matched blind has been installed, too
  • A cheeky grandchild is hiding in our shelves
  • As the corners of the tv ...
  • ... were sticking too far out ...
  • ... Juergen cut out a piece of the drywall ...
  • ... of the dining room wall.
  • Now it's within the borders of the shelves!
  • For cooler evenings ...
  • ... in Florida ...
  • ... Juergen put in ...
  • ... a fireplace ...
  • ... in autumn 2010.
  • The trim ...
  • ... is done a few days ...
  • ... after the trial.
  • To avoid a fire the carpet in front of the fireplace had to be removed.
  • Unfortunately the front doors are that well insulated we have to open them to feel the heat!
  • Front room with just a little bit of cosy carpet left
  • In 2011 roll-down shutters were installed in front of the windows.
  • As there was a little gap over the floor left ...
  • ... Juergen filled in the area between the decorative pillars ...
  • ... and painted them in house colour.
  • In 2012 Juergen installed ...
  • ... new double glazed windows ...
  • ... -same time as in our bedroom- ...
  • ... which he had found ...
  • ... at a really good reduced price ...
  • ... at our local DIY store. Like in our bedroom they were a little bit too short.
  • He filled up the gap with concrete blocks, ...
  • ... tiled it from the outside and painted it in a matching colour.
  • In the background you can see the opening to "Maria's Art Studio"
  • The soft carpet is still here
  • The sofas were moved to Maria's Art Studio
  • The last carpet pieces in the garage
  • Juergen laying the soft base for the hardwood
  • Laying the planks ...
  • ... for testing purposes ...
  • ... as Maria has designed a special pattern again.
  • The new bamboo floor is done
  • Looks great, doesn't it?
