Perhaps that is why I am so drawn to architects and spatial design versus fabrics and rugs. Most of my friends and colleagues think I am crazy, but nothing is more enjoyable to me than tearing out old walls and transforming rooms into a new and wonderful spaces. So when the the right architect/build firm comes along the results can be magic! Here is a wonderful before and after by Howell Custom Building Group who also did the architectural plan. The gorgeous After pictures were shot by the famous interior photographer, Eric Roth.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-oP9LwyU8J3c/TzZrYEAMV0I/AAAAAAAAHbg/SoRY_v4teXQ/s1600-h/Howelll-toward-kitchen-before1-950x700%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="Howelll-toward-kitchen-before1-950x700" border="0" height="446" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Mb1hSa2mJ5A/TzZrYrURgXI/AAAAAAAAHbo/HECgn4XpNKw/Howelll-toward-kitchen-before1-950x700_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="Howelll-toward-kitchen-before1-950x700" width="604" /></span></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">The 800 square foot cottage was part of an Inn, which consisted of the main house and cottages.
