New Bar Space Makes Entertaining Fun and Easy: Before Who did the work: 'We did some of the work ourselves but a contractor did most of it.'

We like the chandeliers, plus having more space and a modern/contemporary design.' 'It's more for our two kids, so they can have use for the basement as they grow. 'For our basement renovation, we removed carpet, replaced stairs carpet, added two chandeliers, added a bathroom, added a guest room and an office, added LED lights on stairs, put in vinyl floor tiles and mirrored storage.' From Basement to Bedroom: After Who did the work: 'We did most of the work ourselves.' 'Finishing the basement gave us double the entertaining space in our home! I didn't want the space to have the typical 'dark' and secluded basement feel, and love that it turned out to be a continual flow of our style from the rest of the house with a warm and cozy touch!' 'We drywalled, installed carpet and board-and-batten wainscoting, created a fireplace wall, built custom shelves, restored an antique fireplace mantel, painted, added light fixtures, added kitchen cabinets, and built a butcher-block bar for entertaining.' Doubled Entertaining Space: After Here are 15 of our favorite attic and basement revamps, pulled directly from entries in our 2014 Search for America's Best Remodel Contest.

Surely, there are even more hidden gems among the masses of antique material.When cramped living quarters left these readers looking to expand, they looked up and down to drafty attics and dingy basements to secure extra square footage. To make this important discovery available to all, the auction house and Whitcomb have collaborated on a Facebook page which will post highlights and discoveries from within the collection. The whole collection is valued at around $100,000. Anthony images are expected to sell for between $10,000 and $50,000.

Whitcomb has kept several of his favorite pieces he can expect a windfall from the rest of the collection. The pieces will be conserved and eventually offered for auction. Whitcomb has consigned the treasures of his attic to the auction house One Source Auctions & Antiques in Canandaigua, New York. Broken into many pieces, it is yet unclear if it can be reconstructed. Whitcomb also reports that he discovered the corresponding original glass negative. However, the discovery of this original print by the photographer himself is monumental. It is also an image on file with the Library of Congress. It is considered Anthony's official portrait, as Hale gave the copyright to the Susan B. The image-depicting a woman who led the fight for women's rights for decades-has long been widely known. The image was taken by Hale himself in 1905, the year before Anthony passed away. The most significant find among the images is a large print of Susan B. Whitcomb believes one of the images depicts Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a staunch leader of the movement from its early days. Hale photographed several important women within the suffragist movement-upstate New York was a hub of suffragist activity. However, among the images are several well-known faces. Such images are valuable records of historic developments, including the early involvement of women in competitive sports. These include formal portraits of young women with Gibson girl aesthetics and group shots of local sports teams. Of the images discovered in Hale's collection, many depict local people whose identities are largely shrouded in the intervening century of history. While it is unclear exactly when the attic and its contents were sealed off, neither of the former owners of the building (back to the 1960s) were aware of the attic's existence. The photographer likely purchased Whitcomb's building around 1900. Thanks to the research of former president of the society Dan Weinstock, Whitcomb learned that Hale had lived in Geneva from 1892 to 1920. The name James Ellery Hale led Whitcomb to the Geneva Historical Society for more information. It became apparent that the equipment had once belonged to a commercial portrait photographer. The attic harbored glass negatives, old prints, and large antique photographic equipment. They found many incredible pieces dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Whitcomb and a friend thoroughly explored the attic the next day. вЂњI lowered myself and said вЂI think we just found the Goonies treasure.'вЂќ They're the turn-of-the-century, they're gold, gilded, and they shone really bright and I was like вЂOh my God,'вЂќ he said. Whitcomb told CNN, вЂњThe first thing I saw was a whole bunch of picture frames stacked together and these frames are gorgeous. Curious, he piled some chairs and peaked his head through the trap door. His repair efforts upon an upper-floor revealed a hidden drop-ceiling. Whitcomb had no idea about the hidden attic when he purchased the Geneva building.
