On the shortcomings list were inefficient closets, a tiny, windowless bathroom with a chipped tub, and signs of structural issues in the roof. 

To address the bathroom, the rotting window and old tub were removed. The window was replaced with an insulated, frosted-glass unit that matched the original divided-lites, improving both daylight and privacy. A large walk-in shower was rotated away from the window by reclaiming an inefficient guest room closet. A wall-mounted toilet and relocated linen cabinet maximized space. The sacrificed guest closet became a full wall of custom cabinetry with a Murphy bed and flexible workspace. The primary bedroom got a paneled headboard wall and new full-height wardrobe, doubling storage. Initially not part of the plan, a failing roof-to-wall connection demanded attention. Removing the flat ceiling allowed for new rafters, ties, and a vaulted ceiling with a skylight— adding cost, but delivering daily light and long-term resilience.
