Master Bedroom

Even though we finished all three of the rooms we made out of The Garage at the same time, I felt like I needed to break the remodel of the garage up into four separate posts because of the amount of work that went into it. This was by far the most work-intensive part of the remodel since we essentially took one big space and turned it into three separate spaces – the Master Bathroom, Master Bedroom, and the Laundry Room. This post is going to be dedicated to the changes we made after we made the changes to the structure and “guts” of the garage, and then I will follow with the posts for the Master Bathroom and Laundry Room.

The Garage

I feel like I need to break the remodel of the garage up into four separate posts because of the amount of work that went into it.  This was by far the most work-intensive part of the remodel since we essentially took one big space and turned it into three separate spaces – the Master Bathroom, Master Bedroom, and the Laundry Room.  In this post, I am going to show the changes we made to the structure and “guts” of the garage, and then I will write separate posts for each of the rooms.  I am really disappointed that I didn’t get before pictures of the garage, but I don’t think it matters too much – most people know what the inside of an unfinished garage looks like.

The Shop / Theater

It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything about our house remodel, which is kind of a bummer since we’ve been in the house for 10 months now.  This is close to what the shop looked like before we started our remodel, but I didn’t manage to get any pictures before we insulated (that is part of the remodel).  Todd originally built this shop to use to work on cars, etc., but that isn’t something he’s super interested in anymore.  He had the fabulous idea to turn the space into a Home Theater/Family Room, and it turned out amazing!

The end result of the remodel is awesome, including computers, mini-fridge, and giant TV screen.  It has been dubbed the Nerd Castle.

Bursting at the Seams

I am so excited I can hardly stand it – I am getting my own craft/sewing/art room, and I didn’t have to wait for the kids to grow up and move out so I could take over one of their rooms!

I feel like I need to give a little background before I really get into this post.  Last Spring, we gutted and remodeled our entire house before moving in (Todd has owned it for many years, and has had renters in it).  Before the remodel, it was a 3 bedroom, 1 bath with an attached garage, exterior shop, and garden shed.  After we finished the remodel, it is now 4 bedroom, 2 bath, an outdoor Family Room/Theater (former shop), and garden shed.  We converted the garage into the master suite and a laundry room, and finished the shop to use as our Family Room/Theater – otherwise known as the Nerd Castle.

This is the sign I had made for Todd for Christmas for the door of the Theater.

Reagan’s Room

Finishing Reagan’s room has taken longer than either of the other two kids because my dad was custom making her bed.  Just as with Harley’s and Terrance’s rooms, the changes in Reagan’s room were purely cosmetic.  After gutting her room down to bare sheetrock and subfloor, we built it back up to it’s current state, which, is amazing!

Reagan played a big part in the work on her room.  She did the majority of the demolition, most of the painting, and she has arranged it to her liking. She really worked hard to make it “hers”.
