Welcoming entrance With the addition of a garage and porch at the south end of the home, the Michies now have a wonderful entrance leading into a more practical foyer.

A few modifications were made in the plans, one of which might only be conceived by a builder. With the large addition on the north end and an entry and garage on the south-end, the builder felt the finished look would be too long and not pleasing to the eye.

Other things to consider when undertaking such a large project is the budget. "Give yourself a little extra," says Michie. "Things always come up. You have to allow room." And don't be afraid of colour. When they were painting the master bedroom, "Steve asked me, `Do you know they are painting the closets purple?'" "Yes, I picked it," I said.

Aside from the two-tiered deck, Michie says the landscaping, to include trees, shrubs and a pond, will be completed over the next three years. After living through construction and with work still to come, Michie says, "We will be happy with.this for years. We will stay a long time." you determine before you start to decorate what has potential and what should be put into storage. Arranging accessories does not have to be difficult.
