Loft Remodel

When we were shopping for houses we were looking for 4 bedrooms upstairs, and one bedroom downstairs.  This would give us plenty of room for sleeping upstairs and a playroom downstairs.  When we found this house it was listed just that way...but really one of the "bedrooms" upstairs was a loft looking down into the living room.  We liked the house enough that we bought it with plans to close in the loft before baby #4 arrived.  This past weekend it happened!  

I just have to laugh wondering what those workers thought with these critics watching their every move.  
The kids thought it was the coolest thing to watch the transformation.  


Here are some before pictures of the loft.



And the project begins.
Friday was framing.

Standing inside the loft looking out towards the hallway.

Looking up from where the kids sat watching.

From the top of the stairs.

Saturday was drywall.



Looking into the new bedroom from the hallway.


Top of the stairs looking down the stairs and into the new room.


Monday they never showed up...that worried me a little, but yesterday they came and finished up texturing and painting and it's DONE!!


The door was installed very last.

So, now once the overwhelming smell of paint clears out a bit it's time to get this room set up for our little man!  
Watching this first project go so quickly and smoothly we are very anxious to get moving on our next projects.  
First will be the backyard.  Sprinklers, grass, patio & patio cover, trees.
Then the major remodel...ALL new flooring (upstairs and down) along with new light fixtures downstairs and a new kitchen (including adding an island)!
Pretty exciting stuff!!
