When You Discover You're Turning Into Your Father …
I shall have to capture pictures of my latest remodeling. Mind you, the house started out as a replica of a house built in the 1800s by a man who was an officer in the Civil War. My grand uncle and aunt bought the property and eventually turned the second floor into two apartments and the third floor into a Bachelor pad (all one room) apartment. They themselves lived in the main floor. I fell in love with the place and have sought to replicate it as best I can. Problem is, you can't put a door on an angle. This means you can't connect the kitchen to the first landing of the staircase that leads to the second floor. Maid's Entrance. Oi. Even with platforms, you can't connect stairs on that blasted angle. So, instead, I put an angled wall in the kitchen where the door would have been.
This is the house:
Other changes:
More platforms!
I elevated other parts of the house, too. Somebody stop me! LOL
I then elevated another part of that room, but no pictures, as yet. Not entirely happy, I had to go downstairs and elevate the end of the formal livingroom. Again, no pictures, as of yet. I have become my father. He was always tinkering with our house! Why aren't the spoilers working? They don't seem to work under the preview, as they used to. Was glad to see they work after you post the comment. Phew!

Here is the grand staircase off of the front entry L-shaped hall. You can see the arch that leads into the kitchen.

Here is the kitchen showing the angled wall where the door should be to that landing.

I've gone platform happy, I fear. Like my late father I keep changing things!
This is the second remodel of the Master Bath:

More platforms!

The boys' room after the eldest son aged up. He needed a bit more of his 'own' space without leaving his little brother behind.
This was awkward, so I eventually went in and removed that second staircase (in the foreground).

I recently put the platform edge on it, but don't yet have a picture of it.
