We finished painting the small room that will become my sewing room and for a brief instant it sat gloriously empty and light filled (Thomas installed some very bright warm LEDs) and I could imagine for an instant what is is like to have a space to work in, above ground...
But reality dictates that as we divided our bedroom in half to create that space, the other half must be renovated as well. Since we need a place to sleep in the meantime we moved our bed into the little room and it takes up almost the entire space!
I am not at all complaining of course but lack patience and would love to have it magically done with. But...as it is all DIY it will take another month or two for the BERNINAs to find there new home. I am completely grateful of course for what we have done so far...just in a hurry (wink wink!).
What we have done so far:
Our house was built in the early 50's by the contractor that built quite a few houses in the neighborhood but this particular one he built for himself. Its shape is different than the others, it has a very large detached garage that he most likely used to store heavy equipment and everything in here is triple engineered as we like to call it.
The office we are creating used to exist before the world decided it needed master bedrooms and walls were blown up. We are restoring the initial floor plan more or less. So far we have reopened a door way, broken down a closet that stood in front of a window, built a new wall and closet for our future bedroom, installed white oak hardwood floors, LED cans and trim to the windows.
Quite the mountain of work for such a little space!
