Babyproofing the House Project
Remodeling Before Baby VideoBob talks with Nick Beasley, owner of a home in Melrose, Massachusetts. Beasley reviews how he and his family bought a two-family home in Melrose. The house was originally built as a single-family home but was later converted. Beasley and his wife are expecting a baby in six weeks. Maggie Beasley shows Bob the basic layout of the house and the improvements they have made. Maggie Beasley reviews the colors of the living room, dining room, and kitchen that were selected with the help of a colorist. She shows Bob the kitchen and expresses the hope that they will be able to upgrade their kitchen safety in advance of the baby's arrival. On the third floor, there is a nursery, two bedrooms, and a small room the Beasleys will convert to a bathroom. A larger master bath will be created during this project, with the smaller bath moving to the hall. Nick Beasley reviews the demolition of the existing small bath and the new partition wall that has been built to frame out the new space.
