Whatchadoing Wednesday

Well, we've been moving and grooving but our progress doesn't always show up in pictures.  PLUS, we're trying to do most of our renovations with cash, so that slows us down a bit.  BUT today, we've got photo-worthy updates.

BEFORE:


This is in our master bedroom.  The weird little balcony/library opened up all the way to the 1st floor over the entry, leaving the master with very little sound control.  James and I go to bed at different times and I could here the television from 2 floors below.  Plus, the area was just weird and wasted.  So we (the contractors) closed it in and created a great closet.

DURING:


I wanted the skylight to stay over the entry and not in the closet.






Since we extended the floor a few inches, we were able to put a can light over the front door.  Really makes the entry so much warmer.

AFTER:



We took the doors from the kitchen (which we were going to remove eventually) and put them up here, so we saved a little cash and all our doors still match.

Now all I have to do is paint it.  I really love it and think the ROI is going to be high.  I can't hear the TV at all anymore and it really gives the master bedroom a more cohesive feel.
Yah!

Now on to the next project!
