I can’t imagine it’s lastly accomplished. 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 lavatory. 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” footage as a result of the carport is full of stuff and it reveals 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 variety 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 concentrate on what’s contained in the room.
I’ve little or no commentary on this room. I did most of that on this last post the place I walked via the timeline of how this room took place. So right now, I’ll simply present you a couple of earlier than footage, and we’ll soar proper to the after footage 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 the direction of the again yard, this was the view…
And right now, that view seems like this…
Sadly, I didn’t take many pictures of the storage after we purchased the home, so the earliest picture I might discover trying in the direction of the entrance of the room (i.e., standing on the again and searching in the 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 crammed in the place the storage doorways had been.
And right now, that view seems like this…
I actually do remorse not taking extra earlier than footage. Once we purchased the home, the storage didn’t even have drywall. All you might see was the black tar paper, and it felt so darkish and dreary. This can be a view of the nook which is now my workplace space of the studio.
So right now, that space seems 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 crammed the area over the door main inside the home. However that is nonetheless a fairly good concept of what we began with.
And right now, that wall of the room seems like this…
That is the one true “earlier than” image I might discover that truly has no drywall and nonetheless has the storage doorways.
And that view seems like this right now…
I can’t imagine 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 need issues organized.
Within the meantime, listed here are a couple of extra footage of the completed room, offered 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 gentle, the laminate flooring counter tops, and a lot extra) you can find all of those projects here.
I can’t even imagine it’s accomplished. 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. However it’s accomplished, and I can transfer on. Subsequent up is the carport. Now that we’ve a driveway and I’ve a workshop, I must get the carport cleaned out in order that I can truly park a automotive 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 arising! However fairly truthfully, I can also spend fairly a little bit of time over the subsequent few days simply sitting in my studio and having fun with the completed room. It’s such a colourful, comfortable area, and I can’t wait to spend time in right here being inventive!
