Y’all, it has been an exhausting previous couple of days, however my mother and I received all the things finished that wanted to be finished to ensure that the work to begin on the visitor bed room that can quickly be changed into my closet and laundry room. I did take off on Thursday, and we had an exquisite and stress-free Thanksgiving Day. However on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it was pedal to the steel attempting to get all the things finished by final evening.
The primary order of enterprise was to show our breakfast room into our non permanent bed room. We’ve finished this earlier than again in 2019 and 2020, and we’re doing it once more. I needed to empty the room not solely of the furnishings (simply the chairs, actually), but additionally these stacks and stacks of hardwood flooring that shall be utilized in our bed room suite.
I received all of these bins moved and stacked in opposition to the furthest wall within the space the place the brand new flooring shall be put in (I’m working out of room to place issues), after which my mother helped me convey the entire unboxed items in and stack these neatly on prime. My thought was that by the point I attain this wall through the flooring set up, I received’t have a lot to maneuver out of the way in which (relying on how precisely I did my calculations) as a way to end up the previous couple of rows.
Subsequent, I wanted to empty out my closets. I had nowhere to hold my garments, so I checked out a number of freestanding choices that you may purchase and assemble. Sadly, those that had been large enough for what I wanted both seemed fairly flimsy or had been about $200 or extra. So I made a decision to construct my very own. It’s not fancy, however it did the trick. It took me about an hour to construct from begin to end. The development may be very fundamental, and it value about $80 utilizing two steel hanging bars and some items of lumber from Lowe’s.
As soon as that was constructed, I moved it into the sunroom near the washer and dryer, after which moved all of my garments in right here and hung them up.
Then I wanted a spot for my sneakers. There was no room within the sunroom for these, so I introduced all of them into my studio and lined them up in opposition to the lengthy cupboard. Perhaps I can discover a higher resolution, however this was the very best I may do in a pinch.
I needed to chuckle as a result of a number of commenters have stated on previous posts that it’s going to be very inconvenient for me to make use of a separate bed room as my closet as a result of I’ll need to go from our toilet, into the hallway, and into the brand new closet which is technically a separate bed room. However after dwelling quickly like this, with my garments within the laundry room, my sneakers in my studio, and my jewellery within the toilet, and actually having to go from one finish of the home clear to the opposite simply to place an outfit collectively and prepare to go someplace, it will likely be a really welcome change, and can really feel so handy, having all the things organized in that one location comparatively near the toilet and bed room.
Anyway, after the closets had been emptied out, my mother and I began eradicating all the things else from the room, from issues that Matt and I take advantage of each day (which needed to be organized within the breakfast room) to the furnishings that I in all probability received’t preserve (which we moved to my workshop till I’ve time to take footage and checklist on Market).
After which it was time for the closets to come back out. And let me let you know, once I constructed these closets, I constructed them to final. I clearly by no means supposed for them to be taken aside as a result of I assumed I used to be by no means going to get this stuff out. However I lastly received them aside, and we hauled all of the items out of the room and into my workshop the place I now have a pleasant stack of supplies that I can repurpose into one other constructing mission.
I cherished these closets, they usually served us (or me) very nicely. However it utterly modified the look of the room getting them out of there.
Anyway, we labored our tails off, and we received it finished. I feel we completed up at about 7:30 final evening.
So, goodbye, bed room. It was good whereas it lasted.
So let’s take one final look again at this bed room. It was a enjoyable mission to place collectively, and it was a snug bed room for us for the final 4 years.
Whereas it was good, and it served us nicely, it was fairly small for our liking (the closets made the usable ground house smaller), and there wasn’t almost sufficient closet house. It was a pleasant bed room, however we’re on to larger and higher issues now.
