The Closet/Dressing Room

For some reason, I am having trouble putting into words the description of what is going on in these photos. It will be a little difficult for you to get an exact idea since I do not have pictures from every angle. You really have to see it in person; so, I will describe things the best I can...

This room (we call it the Ragedy Ann and Andy room; hince the old wallpaper) was directly connected to what will be our room. You could enter this room from our bedroom or from the hall. Since this room was on the smaller side and our bedroom had no closet or a connected bathroom, we decided to make it a closet/ dressing area. The bathroom will be right off this room, but pics of that will come later.

So, we chisled down the plaster and ugly wallpaper and completely tore down the walls that stood in between this room and "our" room and also the hall.

We had a brick layer come in and repoint the brick because we are keeping the wall you see here exposed. The little "masterbath" will go behind the plastic in this picture.

Up goes the framing for the walls that will separate this room from the bedroom and also from the hall. There will be no door into the hall like there was before.

More framing up! Starting to insulate the walls. Some recessed lights hung. Notice the nice new window!! Had NASTY rotten wood windows that were NOT INSULATED at all!!!

The wall in this picture is in our bedroom. Right in between the brick and where the wall ends is open to walk into the closet/dressing area. We decided not to put a door there because the window is lined up with the open spot. That way we will have a lot of light from outside. Hope this makes sense!!!

At this time, we still have a little more drywalling to do in this room. Our goal this weekend is to have all of that finished. We are getting close to finishing this room and our bedroom. Our room has primer on the walls, so now I need to pick out paint....any suggestions on colors? I thought about a latte-like color, but someone told me that was too plain. We will be getting a new bed set when this is done, so I don't need to match what I have currently. Anyway, I will post more on these rooms as we approached the end. Our next room to complete after these two are finished will be the tiny masterbath. We have done a lot of demoing to many rooms; now we need to complete them. My next post will probably be on the hall bath and laundry closet since we have done a lot of work there. So, stay tuned......
