Attic Progress

New stairs...what an improvement!   

They were so shallow and steep before.

 You can see from this photo the 

change in the length.   

The stairs used to end where 

the old railing is now.

 When you come up the stairs you 

get to this landing area.

I am going to use this an an office 

and sitting area

right off the master bedroom.

This side area shown below will be 

where I put a desk. 

It also serves as a hallway. 

 This is the view looking

into the master bedroom.

I made the room big enough for 

2 dressers, 2 nightstands 

and a king size bed.

I wanted the sitting area to be sectioned 

off rather than incorporating 

it into the master

bedroom. 

This opening for double french doors.

I want the sitting area to be 

as open as possible to

the master bedroom. 

The bed will go under the windows.

 I will add a light fixture over the 

bed in the 

vaulted ceiling area.

 The bathroom is across the hall.

We had to order a special toilet

that is installed out the back 

and not down because we are dealing 

with an old house.

They had to create a cavity for the plumbing...

going to add shelves for storage on the ledge.

 This is a niche for towel storage.

I also have more room for storage at 

the end of the tub.

I am tempted to use this as a little seat

for tub supervision

with my preschooler.

 Planning to add a 48" wide vanity here 

with side lights.

Just picked up a cool mirror from 

a garage sale

for the bathroom. 

This is my daughter's future room.   

Made the window seat deep enough to 

accomodate twin mattress.

 This is a walk in closet for her room.

 This corner where the ladder is 

will fit a full size bed perfectly!

Installed an electric box so I can hang 

a mini vintage pendent next to her bed.  

 This is looking out of her room out into

the hallway area.

 This is the hallway/office area.  

This will remain a half wall

to keep it open.

 We had a furnace installed, plumbing all done, 

electric roughed in.

Next is foam insulation and drywall.

Then my husband will be painting 

to save a bit of money.

Busy looking for the flooring and 

finalizing all my lighting.

Will post more as we go though the process...

feel very lucky and excited 

to be doing this project!
