Second floor changes

The second floor had two bedrooms, one bathroom and a small room only accessible through one of the bedrooms; this is called a "captive room" and is often not very usable.  This room was turned into two modern closets and bathroom to utilize the space better and allowed a previously added makeshift closet to be removed, making the room bigger and bringing more natural light into the bedroom.

On the right you can see the old closet and in the back is the entrance to the captive room:

In the front bedroom, previous owners had added another makeshift closet which was ugly, covered the fireplace and really restricted the view of the great bay window:

Two new closets were added on either side of the uncovered fireplace:

The standard swinging door was replaced with a pocket door for more usable space and a transom above to light up the stairway:

The old covered-over skylight was reopened, a new insulated and operable skylight was installed, and the light well was flared to allow lots of light into the room:
