In the Fall of 2010, we started work on a rather extensive project to update the front of our house. Since this had been the back of our house when it was built, our main goal was to create an obvious and welcoming front door and entry way space where none had been needed before.
To accomplish this, we made a small addition under the existing porte cochere roof, which allowed for an expanded entry way, a new front door, and a front porch.

Inside, we gained a couple of much-needed closets and updated the adjacent powder room. And outside, we re-poured a sizable portion of the driveway, removed some large oak trees, and re-landscaped around the house.
