peggyquade Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Here is a picture of my Pierce so far. I am adding a two story piece to the end of the living room and I'm widening the porch, extending it all the way to the end of the kitchen. I'm also eliminating the angled wall between the kitchen and dining room, making the dining room and entry way bigger. I think this will make what I think is kind of a cramped entryway into a more spacious area. The addition is going to be a bathroom and a library on the first floor and a bathroom and master bedroom on the second floor. There will be a full length chimney on that end of the house so that I can put fireplaces in the library and master bedroom. There are more pictures in my gallery.

Hallowell Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I like your ideas. I 'm having to change the arrangement of walls and staircase from an old already built house. It woul of been easier from a new kit but I don't mind, I love to remodel and tear walls down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esther Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 They sound like great ideas, Peggy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Peggy, thanks for posting such details pictures! I want to add a two-story addition to my Pierce as well, so it's nice to know what I'll be facing. And extending the kitchen is brilliant; it was looking a bit cramped in some photos from finished houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Awesome Peggy! Looks great so far! Are you going to side this one? Brick with stone quoins would be fun to do, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Your Pierce is looking Totally Delightful!! Thank you for sharing pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggyquade Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Ooh, brick with stone quoins sounds really cool! That would look nice with the fancy chimney I'm going to make. Maybe with lap siding on the second level? I haven't decided what I am going to do with the outside of this Pierce. I'm open to all sorts of suggestions! I know the inside is going to be a lot of nice wood panelling with lots of carved details in the baseboards and cornices, wainscotting, those coffered ceilings and lots of rich, jewel colors like teal green, deep blue, burgundy, etc. Maybe "leaded" glass windows with a few stained glass windows. I have a question...the replacement windows for the Pierce...if I get those, I shouldn't put on the inside or outside trim that comes with the kit, right?

havanaholly Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Maybe with lap siding on the second level?Why not shingles? Particularly fishscale shingles, or a combination of straight-end and fishscale in patterns? the inside is going to be a lot of nice wood panelling with lots of carved details in the baseboards and cornices, wainscotting, those coffered ceilings and lots of rich, jewel colors like teal green, deep blue, burgundy, etc. Maybe "leaded" glass windows with a few stained glass windows. Ah, another fan of William Morris!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
