Living room in the houseboat before and after

We rebuilt our houseboat last summer. We repainted the hull, changed all the panelling, all the windows and doors and all the roof. But the biggest change was that we rebuilt the entire living room, which is the top part of the boat.

Demolish and rebuild

We simply demolished the old part on the houseboat and built a completely new one - longer, wider and higher than the previous one. We've shown pictures of the living room before, but no clear before and after pictures. So here they are. Hold on to your hats!

The living room seen from the kitchen

First, a picture of the old living room as seen from the kitchen. Cosy, but very small. The windows were single glazed, there were gaps in the side doors and the insulation in the walls was very thin.

Then comes a picture of the new living room seen from the kitchen. Significantly larger and brighter, with heated floors, parquet flooring, large triple glazed windows, a balcony door leading directly to the terrace and a ceiling with recessed lights.

Living room looking towards the kitchen

Here is a picture of the old living room looking towards the kitchen. In this picture, we've already started some demolition and we've actually started to widen the opening, which was very narrow and low.

And finally, the new living room facing the kitchen. Wider doorway, angled skylight over the doorway, work area for Peter and fireplace. Here you can also see some pictures of the houseboat before and after.
