CM's Architecture Thread - Thornton Cottage (pg 8) & a homeless home (pg 9)
This thread is for sharing some of my builds and tutorials, and to connect with other builders. As a former architectural drafter (who longs for those glory days) I live out my dreams vicariously th...
When I read the description for Myrtle Bungalow, "Cozy and livable, this compact house is packed with potential for the home remodeler while retaining its Victorian charm" I was instantly inspired to do just that and restore this house to its Victorian glory!
I added a second floor and a tower, upgrading it to 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. There's a formal living and dining, cozy office/library, and a charming rustic kitchen.

We of course enter the house through the foyer, which connects to the parlor, and to the stair hall through the archway at the far end. https://creativemetaphor.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/foyer.jpg
The parlor is connected to the library https://creativemetaphor.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/parlor.jpg
The library can also be accessed from the stair hall https://creativemetaphor.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/office1.jpg

Upstairs holds three bedrooms each with private en suite. The kid's room also has a stair leading to a play room in the tower.
