Window Seat

In the existing house, the east wall is bowed out pretty bad. Josh's theory as to why this happened is because when the previous owner dug out the cellar/basement, they didn't do the foundation correctly. Thus, causing the east wall to sacrifice. So! Instead of correcting the bowed wall with a sister wall (which we might do anyway), we are going to rebuild it. Taking out the current brick wall and side-by-side double windows and replacing it with a squared-off window seat. Externally it will be siding that matches the new addition and a square wall of windows, and internally, a cozy window seat that can be used for a reading nook, or a seat for the kitchen table.

Archways

These archways are cool, and keeps with the Victorian style. This could be the archway from the kitchen to the living room. But instead of a finished wall, we would have the exposed brick.

Peak through this modern addition to the original Victorian house; see the exposed brick wall? Viola!
