Initially we had used the front bedroom, but in summer months it’s pretty noisy with the cruiser traffic on Mid St, Friday and Saturday nights. This is the room that was originally the kitchen, all of which had to be removed.

As part of the very first work we contracted with our builder between November 2003 and April 2004, we had him remove the cabinets, demolish the pantry, and restore the window to its original size.

From there it’s a matter of decorating. The pictures below show the first cut at this in 2006, it’s been painted again since.
