I transformed my sewing/craft room into a bedroom for our Granddaughters. I shouldn't say I did it. Because there were so many helpful hands on this project. Not to mention backs, etc.
First everything had to be taken out of that room. And the dreaded closet clean out. I worked very had but just couldn't get it all done by myself. Enter my daughter, Tonya. To avoid two sets of step. Tonya parked a trailer by the front porch and we loaded it with fabric and then we loaded it with some more fabric...well you get the picture. Oh, so you don't get the idea the fabric was just laid out on the trailer, we had plastic bins and plastic drawers. Well, way too much fabric and all the stuff that goes with sewing. Then we drove around to the basement and unloaded.
Did I tell you first we had to do a major cleaning of the basement first. Whew...where does all that stuff come from and why did we ever save it in the first place.
Once the room was empty. Then more work. Patrick, our son-in-law redid the ceiling taping mudding and new basket weave texture. Paint next. David painted the walls...well the first coat. It took two. I did the next coat. While we were at it, we tore the paper off the hallway and painted it. Tonya painted it.
The carpet was old and not in good shape. David and I tore it out and hauled it off to the dump. We got sticker shock when we went to purchase the new carpet. Wow
I used the landing for my paint projects. We cleared all of that out too. And it is now a play area for the girls.
