View to Dining Room & Entry Foyer from Living Room
Before the remodel, the front door opened directly into the dining room, where the two wood columns now stand. There was no transition space, and no sense of privacy: anyone standing on your front stoop had a direct view into the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Now that the front door is down a flight of steps, the spatial distance creates a sense of privacy, and the foyer offers space for a bench to sit while removing muddy shoes, and hooks where rain-soaked coats can dry.
