DIY Remodel of the Playroom Part 2

July 20, 2011 Lana

Yesterday, I showed you Part 1, the before pictures of our remodel. 
Here is the deconstruction part of it.
Trust me, it is not pretty. 
It is a REAL mess.  And we made it. 
But, we have vision.
Now welcome to our chaos!
We have added a wall and shortened our playroom.
The new room is going to be a library, mostly for our Homeschool books.  Can’t wait!
New WallSee the patio door and wall of air leaking windows.  Yeah, say goodbye!
We also took ugly 1970’s paneling down.
What to do with air leaking windows?The other side of the patio door…Patio door that is basically a screen door.We (I) had to cut tons of boards to frame in this wall to hang sheetrock.
P6260621I love cutting wood, it makes me feel like I am superwoman. 
Remember this?  My friend Lady Crafty Cut.  She is amazing!Lady Crafty CutThis is not what I meant by adding curtains yesterday but
it has saved the rest of house from seeing the playroom construction.
Hang a sheet Pretty Curtain SheetWe took down the popcorn ceiling.  We actually got to use it for the exterior wall under the siding. 
Immediately, it added insulation.
A sweet moment when we get to save on our landfill bill.

This will be the media wall.  Media Wall
I missed pictures of removing the ugly windows. 
Here is my hubby framing a new window.

The exterior wall…notice where we took out the double window.  Then added another window instead.  One that is energy-efficient.

To this!

Pretty entranceAwesome SidingGorgeous SidingPlus lighting!Exterior LightsThey kind of remind me of New Orleans.  A French Look!P7150442My new gorgeous windows. 
My hubby actually broke the first one.  He was taking the cardboard off the bottom and it slipped.
Thank the Lord the store gave us a new one.  We were both in tears of gratitude.
It was one of those times where we could have lost it but instead we stayed calm.  Personally, I was so thankful that my hubby was not hurt.  It could have turned out so bad, but instead we were laughing with gratitude!
Broken Window turned GoodOur sweet door!  We were actually given this door by sweet friends that moved out of town.  Isn’t it beautiful?Pretty Exterior DoorNow for the interior…still not completed!Exterior Door (from inside)Our Low E Window from the inside…Low E windowsLow E WindowStill so much to do…P7150448But…worth every minute.  Okay, I’ll leave you with our unpainted siding.  Soon it will be painted and hopefully some beautiful landscaping.Hardy Siding
Thanks for visiting our home!
