Swiped Space

Was it my idea? Or was it his? Either way, we did it. We stole 12 square feet this weekend, and his older brother was an accomplice.

What a difference that amount makes too. We basically moved two walls, expanding the inner corner of the master bedroom, eliminating the L shape with the bump out and a new walk in closet with pocket door. The room is a whole new space and much more usable now.

We could not have done any of it without Ron. While he and Doug were moving the wall, I made the coat “closet” (really a cubby) under the stairs. I bought two sets of hooks from Target and hung them at a 45 degree angle to match the stairs, and put a bookshelf at the back end. Doug put in new light fixtures in the bedroom, and I helped hang drywall too.

We are mostly finished with drywall, and can mud and tape and texture next. Then, paint, and after that, new carpet.
