I really loved this post when it first went up, and it's nice to be reminded of it. For all of the people who think that the original house was ruined by this remodel, well, that's your opinion. Living in Portland and having spent lots of time at the beach, I can tell you that there are plenty of rickety old houses to choose from, so don't despair that this one is remodeled. Most houses like this are permanently damp, smelly, and that weathered wood may look "rustic" but it's also not smart to keep it like that. I think that it's nice to see all kinds of design at the beach - it's not Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard, for goodness sakes! I would much rather stay in this bright, clean place with bigger windows to look at the beautiful scenery through. Nice work. I’m so glad that this post has a new life!

How did you know where to start? Here in Santa Cruz CA we have lots of homes that look like the "before" photos and I have always thought it was such a shame. Now I will look at them in a different light! This is unbelieveable! How did you know where to start?

I was considering the cheaper "anenome" version and I wasn't sure if two of those would be okay with one overhead light. Hi,
