I can’t consider it’s lastly completed. This room was, by far, my largest challenge but in our home. This was far greater and extra in depth, involving far more DIY tasks, than even the grasp rest room. And it’s been “in progress” for years. However lastly, and actually as of this morning after I completed portray the door, it’s completed!
I had actually hoped to get the carport cleaned out earlier than taking these “after” photos as a result of the carport is filled with stuff and it exhibits via the again doorways of the studio. However I made a decision that we’ve all waited far too lengthy as it’s to see this room completed, so I wasn’t prepared to delay any longer. So please be so form as to disregard the view via the again doorways. I hope to spend this night and all day tomorrow cleansing that up in order that I can present y’all our completed driveway!! However for now, let’s simply fake that the view out the again studio doorways is attractive, and we’ll deal with what’s contained in the room.
I’ve little or no commentary on this room. I did most of that on this final put up the place I walked via the timeline of how this room took place. So right now, I’ll simply present you a number of earlier than photos, and we’ll leap proper to the after photos and skip all of the in between.
Simply as a reminder, my studio was initially the storage. So standing on the entrance storage doorways and searching in direction of the again yard, this was the view…
And right now, that view appears like this…
Sadly, I didn’t take many pictures of the storage once we purchased the home, so the earliest picture I might discover wanting in direction of the entrance of the room (i.e., standing on the again and searching in direction of the entrance yard) was this one which was taken simply because the transformation was starting, after the storage doorways had been eliminated, and because the concrete perimeter was being stuffed in the place the storage doorways had been.
And right now, that view appears like this…
I actually do remorse not taking extra earlier than photos. After we purchased the home, the storage didn’t even have drywall. All you can see was the black tar paper, and it felt so darkish and dreary. It is a view of the nook which is now my workplace space of the studio.
So right now, that space appears like this…
And naturally, because it was a storage, the ground was at floor degree and there have been steps up into the home.
And now, the ground has been raised to be degree with the remainder of the home
Once more, this drywall wasn’t initially there. We added that later, and we additionally eliminated the furnace which had big ducts that stuffed the house over the door main inside the home. However that is nonetheless a reasonably good thought of what we began with.
And right now, that wall of the room appears like this…
This is among the few true “earlier than” photos I might discover that really has no drywall and nonetheless has the storage doorways.
And that view appears like this right now…
I can’t consider it’s completed! I nonetheless have some organizing to do contained in the drawers and cupboards, and I’ll give y’all a peek inside all of these after I’m completed. I’ve every little thing put away proper now, however I’m nonetheless making some tweaks to how I would like issues organized.
Within the meantime, listed here are a number of extra photos of the completed room, introduced with out commentary. Take pleasure in!
When you’re in search of any of the DIY tasks that went into this room (the cupboards, the painted ground, the desk, the tasting spoon pendant mild, the laminate flooring counter tops, and a lot extra) you will discover all of these tasks right here.
I can’t even consider it’s completed. This room has occupied most of my time and power for the final 12 months, and I felt like I used to be caught in Groundhog Day. Nevertheless it’s completed, and I can transfer on. Subsequent up is the carport. Now that we now have a driveway and I’ve a workshop, I must get the carport cleaned out in order that I can really park a automobile in there.
After that, I’ll begin on the bed room. I’ll begin by putting in the hardwood flooring and getting that stained and sealed, and the transfer on to creating a headboard, making draperies, and adorning that room. After which after that, I’ll transfer on to the closet and laundry space. So there are some thrilling issues developing! However fairly truthfully, I can also spend fairly a little bit of time over the following few days simply sitting in my studio and having fun with the completed room. It’s such a colourful, comfortable house, and I can’t wait to spend time in right here being artistic!
