A Bath Restoration and Renovation for the Historic Tyson-Stedham House: Welcome to the 132nd Metamorphosis Monday!

Happy Metamorphosis Monday! For this Met Monday, I'm excited to share another fabulous update for historic Tyson-Stedham home in Adel, Georgia.  Dustin, owner of Van de Fleet Designs and Restoration has been bringing this 1912 Arts and Crafts bungalow back to life over the past few months. (If you're new to this ongoing restoration, you'll find links to all the pasts posts following this amazing restoration from start to finish, at the end of this post.)

Here's how this home looked before Dustin began the restoration...it was in rough shape with peeling paint, mis-guided additions, and multiple roof-overs.  Over the years, it had been sadly neglected inside and out.

Dustin and his crew have come a long way with the restoration of this soon to be 100 year-old treasure.  The past few weeks they have been hard at work restoring and renovating what was once an old sewing room in the Tyson-Stedham home.  Prior owners had converted the space into a walk-in closet and in the process, they had boarded up a window and cut a doorway to the back porch.

I'll let Dustin take you through the restoration process...take it away, Dustin.

The sewing room was the heart of the home back in 1912 and it was so important that it earned its own specific room with a full window. This room was where the lady of the house would make clothing, bedding, table cloths, and knit.  Other then the kitchen, this room made the house run.

The room was a mess and we had to demolish all of its original plaster as it was in too poor of condition to repair.

After this we took out all the door and window trim in the room, cleaned up the massive mess and prepared for the historic transformation from sewing room to a bathroom.
