| Here is the 2 story foyer divided by the framed-in floor/ceiling. |
 |
| A look at what the foyer kind of looked like before the new changes. |
 |
| The ceiling is taking shape. It is 9 ft., matching the ceiling of the 2 adjacent rooms. |
 |
| Framing in the walls and doorway of our new room. |
 |
| The foyer with a ceiling installed. It's coming along... |
 |
| The connecting door between our master bedroom and the new room upstairs. Having it connect to our master bedroom makes it an ideal sitting room if we ever move. |
 |
| The wall and door are in. |
 |
| Our new 9 foot ceiling! Looking pretty and dressy with a small chandelier :) |
 |
| The new upstairs room is painted peach. Even in the evening with no lights on, the room has a soft glow. The ceiling fan will help keep this upstairs room cool. (But it still has an air vent for A/C and heat) |
 |
| Dan burned the midnight oil on a saturday night installing a solid hardwood floor in the new room. He laid this floor himself, and this photo was taken around 1 am...that's dedication! |
 |
| A view from the office looking all the way through the new foyer and into the dining room. A seamless transition in ceiling height and smoothness. |
 |
| The hardwood floor of the new room extends out into the hall outside our master bedroom. |
 |
| The hardwood floor is finished and looks great!
Currently, my 2 craft tables, 2 tall bookcases, and all my craft supplies share space in Gabby & Evie's nursery. Since the only time I can scrapbook or bead is during their nap, I rarely get to work on my crafts. This new room will change that! This mom hopes to get some much-needed decompression time....some "me" time :) I am looking forward to enjoying my new craft room!!!! If it weren't suiting up to become an amazing craft room, it could become a nursery, a sitting room, an office, or even the coolest large walk-in closet a woman could drool over. So many possibilities!
This room begins its new life as a temporary bedroom for Dan's mom who will visit us for a couple weeks when our new baby is born. We are pleased to offer her an actual room to enjoy during her visit, which we will outfit with a twin bed and table. It sure beats bunking in the playroom! :)
It feels great to have completed another home improvement project. With Hannah having a tonsillectomy, construction on our home, and our baby girl due in about 3 weeks, this family doesn't do anything in half measures! :)
