BEFORE: Loft

You enter the loft in the living room. It is a doorway fit for a hobbit.

The next shot is looking down from the loft - there is an opening on another wall.

The last two shots look up at the loft from different angles.

The "stained glass" is a decal.

Yes, the dark paints used throughout the house all needed a second coat. You are truly seeing brush strokes, even in these photos. They were that obvious.
