The new 20 Sijsjeslaan

This is the only part of the house that still looks the same

Just entering the living room.  New floors.

Dining room, no more display case.  No wall between kitchen/dining area.  Beam covered.  What happened to the old door I wonder?  Also heating units instead of the vents from the floor.

No wall between dining/kitchen/veranda.  The kitchen appliances will be along the wall.

This was taken from the dining room.  Free flow from dining into kitchen into the veranda.  Possibly an island in the center?  (b/c of the wires sticking up)

Taken from the corner of the dining area.  Foyer still the same, as well as the piano room.  Fireplace rock all covered up.  Heating units on either side (that is ugly I have to say).  The light fixtures still the same...I'm sure they will change. As I said, beam covered and no more old door.

From the kitchen to the veranda

Veranda now the eat-in kitchen area.  Really nice!

Veranda.  No fireplace, now a window instead.

Downstairs master bedroom.  The bathroom is gone, just this added space.  Nice new big sliding doors to the outside.

Once Dad's office/Steve's nursery.  Now a nice bathroom.

The sliding doors from the veranda (now kitchen/breakfast area) and notice no door into the old kitchen.

Looking up you would normally have seen Jake's bedroom door.  It's closed off b/c now it opens from the TV room. 

Finished attic with new skylight.

Nicoles' room/ Seth's room.  The sinks are gone.  Windows didn't change.

Dan's room.  Again sink gone/window the same.

Upstairs full bathroom.  No shower, just a bathtub across the back right under the skylight.

This is a big change indeed.  Remember where the computer was in the TV room?  Now it's a bathroom!  The guy in the background is standing where the small door into the playroom was.  The window is still there and that's where I am standing to take the picture.  You can kind of see the ceiling on the upper left side where I am in the cubby of the window.

Shower of same bathroom

This is Jake's old room.  No desk or built in bed.  I think it will be a walk in closet for the  new master bedroom.  You may ask how you get in there?  (next picture)

The door into Jake's old room from the TV room.  (from Jakes' room)

The door into Jake's room from the TV room. Probably just right of where the computer used to be.

Another shot of the removed stone over the fireplace

The side of the veranda is now a wall.  Should have been a wall 25+ years ago and then Aaron wouldn't have ran through it!  I'm sure they will cover over the ponds as well.

Shed still there.  

Here is a picture of the new owner. The new owner showed up while we were inside!  Freaked me out, but she didn't seem to mind. She is from Bulgaria.  The only common language was French so I really don't know much about her.  She moves in on May 1st.  Guess I better not trespass again!

New back of the house.  Small window where Dad's office/ Steve nursery was b/c now it is a bathroom.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed the tour.  It was fun to see the changes.
