The downstairs bedroom

First off.....Wow, thank you SO much for taking the time out of your day to stop by our little corner of the internet world.  Whether it be instagram or here on this we are so humbled and thankful you are here.

I hate even calling this a "blog", because it will not be taken care of like it should, but will mostly serve as a resource page for things around the house.

So here goes.

We decided to start with the downstairs bedroom because the few pictures we have of the renovations are on the big computer, not my phone. 



When we moved in.....

it wasn't bad at all and we didn't start out to do all the work we did, but when you find the original plank walls underneath layers and layers of stuff, you roll with it. 

A few progress shots...... We basically took down the boards one by one, sanded them, insulated then put them back up.  We left the rafters exposed on the ceiling so that made it feel a little taller.

Side note: the second picture down you will see white at the bottom of the wall......that is the paneling that was in the first picture.  that is how we nailed the planks back on the walls.

 

 

 

 

Here she is today.....She may be a little small, but could not be happier how she turned out.
