Adventures in Home Ownership: Preview of the new bedroom

Okay, okay I know I said that I wasn't going to talk about the bedroom until it was done but I figure it has taken so long and you all have been very patient; here is a preview. Due to buying Christmas gifts and most recently having a touch of the flu I have not had the time/money/want to work on the room. But… now that Joe’s promotion has gone through and Christmas is over I want this to be done in the next two-ish weeks so we can get the bathroom going.

We started out by ripping out the walls and ceiling as well as every bit of insulation (it was moldy and gross). We covered the outside wall beams with bleach and Kilz to prevent any further mold problems, put up new insulation and now have most all of the sheet rock back up. We have the wall where the closet is going completely up, the other two walls and ceiling is almost all up. There are just a few things to fix on the ceiling because Joey knows nothing about construction and he put it up. I also started to putty the on the walls and ceiling but had to stop because some of the screws weren't in all the way and the drills died so let’s hope that they will charge soon so I can get that done tonight.

So this is a preview of what the closet will look like.

I found this closet design at Home Depot so I just need to install it. It will go the entire length of the side wall. I also need to find the perfect doors… but… I also want to find a pivot that will turn completely around so it will have a full length mirror on one side and what looks like part of the closet door on the other. There is also a spot next to the bedroom door that will is only about a foot wide from the wall to the door frame that will have two pull out towel racks that will hold my belts and scarves. It will be FANTASTIC!!!

So what is left you ask?

--> Finish the little bit of walls and ceiling

--> Install the fan

--> Paint

--> Install the floors

--> Decorate

--> Move in

It seems like a lot to do but once I get all the supplies it will be a breeze.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
