Making Orchid Gable Level with Floor, 2 Ways

Making Orchid Gable Level with Floor, 2 Ways

The Orchid has a lovely big gable over the porch that's great for a window seat, bed nook, etc. But the floor of the gable area is higher than the rest of the upstairs floor, and I wanted to make it flush with the rest of the upstairs floor so I could place a bed with the head in the gable and the foot extending out into the bedroom. I planned to make a simple platform to raise the floor in the bedroom to the level of the gable floor. But then, for other reasons, I decided it would be better to lower the porch ceiling/gable floor to the level of the upstairs floor. I already had the platform almost finished when I changed my mind and did it the other way, lowering the gable floor. Here are pictures of both ways to make the gable floor flush with the upstairs floor.
