The previous owner referred to Bedroom 3 as "the apartment," which I think is how Casey sees it, too. Casey uses the alcove outside the door like a porch and seems to appreciate the deck if not the yard beyond. He gets a lot of use out of the Dutch door. He uses the little closet (he installed a second shelf above the pole), but he also has an open armoire in the room.
He's made other changes that I will reverse: He replaced the ceiling light with a fan, so the room is always dark. He installed a 45-degree live edge sink that is simply impractical, and he has knickknack shelves all over the room.

| Big fan, no light; open armoire; tired carpet |

| Low light, zero storage sink |
The carpet is shot, there a crack in the big window. If we're replacing windows, we should replace it. Maybe the garden slider that Peggy suggested. The room needs all new trim--doors, base, windows are all pathetic. Bathroom floor seems okay as is, though.
We can widen the shower into the empty closet space, so we should.

| The water heater and outlet are both gone. |
The hallway outside the "apartment" is used by the upstairs tenant and as access for the garage. The main open question is what kind of floor is in the hall. I had thought carpeting for the stairs to the second floor, but we don't want to track dirt in from the outside. Maybe tile?
