Holy cow! Love it.
I saw this in the magazine - it's an amazing and sensitive transformation.
The outside looks like an honest-to-gosh fairy tale cottage!
Love that house - what a cute front door!
What a sweet place. Great job.
That is the cutest house ever! Love the green tiles too, just adorable!

I love love love the outside!
what happenend to the window on the right?
This is an adorable house. It really does look like a fairy tale cottage! I wish that I knew the name of the paint color that they used in the dining room.
I LOVE it! I have always wanted to live in a house like this. All it needs is that little water wheel outside like in Sleeping Beauty.
I'm with the first post - "Holy cow! Love it."
"what happenend to the window on the right?"
If you'd glance at the linked article you'd see from the floorplan that it had to be closed off - on the other side of that wall is the new guest bedroom/bathroom addition.
