Originally we'd hoped to do more than we're doing. This seems to be the remodeler's refrain. Luckily we were able to pare-down the project before breaking ground, saving ourselves (and our pocketbooks) a lot of heartache. We reevaluated our goals when figuring out what to cut. Turns out we're not formal enough to require a formal entry, nor do we have enough clothing to require a walk-in closet. The balcony was hard to let go of, but we decided that a larger first-floor deck would compensate. What we kept: The stair tower, complete first-floor remodel, window-seat "bump out" in the kitchen, new flooring and windows throughout, updated siding and roof as well as a re-built front porch.
