Our attic will become completely new living space for us. Before the reno, half of the space was finished. The back half of the attic was unfinished. This will become Abigail's bedroom in a couple of years. When we first move back, this will become play space for the kids.
The door leading into the unfinished area.
The staircase going down into the guest bedroom. This staircase will not move, but will become wider. We will continue to access the attic from the new office.
During the reno...
One recommendation I read for homeowners undertaking a renovation was to stick with your original plan. Making changes during the project will only break the budget. We have mostly stuck with the original plan, but several things only became obvious when we saw the new space. One change was designing the above area in front of the east window. This will now become a reading window for this room. Abigail is SO excited but seeing how this room will transform has me even more excited than her!
The wall dividing the two areas is now gone. This will remain open with railings dividing the space.
And look what we discovered - a HUGE hornet's nest. Thankfully it was taken care of by some brave workers.
