Two sides to everything

So far I've only posted pretty inspiration photos.Well those are glorious to look at, they were not necessarily always that pretty.At least that is what I am telling myself as I prepare to post "the ugly" for the first time on here.Keep in mind that my house was built in 1905 and never had anything more done to it then just having junk thrown in there and out of the way! Lucky for me, there is a cathedral ceiling and gigantic walk in dormers!In 2009,I began to notice water damage on our ceilings on the second floor.I immediately panicked and thought "Oh crap, now I need to replace this enormous roof and therefore put a ton of money I would've rather spent elsewhere into a darn roof"! Turns out, the roof job was only $350 so I decided to use the rest of the money to finish the attic into a master suite! Besides the drywall and flooring though, I had it insulated and all the windows replaced with high efficency models! So, without further ado...the UGLY!:

The entire attic looked like this:



These are the only "during" photos I have:





It is now finished structurally, and over the next couple of months I am going to decorate.
