First Floor Plan: As-Built

As you walk in through the front porch doors, you feel like you're in a hallway. You can kind of see the kitchen, but there's a giant green shelf-thing hanging off the east wall and it's at eye-level. It's impossible to work on the counter tops directly beneath it. The bathroom is as large as the kitchen. The spiral staircase is a charming, if dangerous touch. The back entry way (by the spiral stairs) was added when the stairs went in (ca. 1992). Prior to that it was a bedroom. The rest of the open living space is oddly partitioned and closet spaces are in near-unusable configurations. The solution? Down to the studs and start over!
