Our Playroom Before Pictures

July 19, 2011 Lana

We’ve been busy little bees.

We have remodeled basically our entire house.

It has been messy.  It has been overwhelming.  It has been crazy!

But, overall it is going to be worth it.

 

 

Here are some “before” playroom pictures…

 

This is our OLD patio door.  It was if…it wasn’t even there. 

Tons of heat was let in and the cool air escaped.

Bad Bad Bad Patio Door

Our electricity bill was outrageous.  With most of our days hitting in the 100’s for most of the year – we needed a better system.

The windows behind those curtains also was at fault for major energy loss.

We took down the entire wall.

Bad Bad Bad Wall

We also removed the carpet.  It was just commercial carpet laid over concrete. 

It worked well when my kids were learning to crawl and walk.  But, now tile is more feasible.

Commerical Carpet

Alaskans have the bridge to no-where…we have a door to no-where. 

Actually, it goes to the garage but we never use it.  (We had 4 entrances to the garage.)

This wall is going to be covered with our computer and entertainment center.  My hubby is going to build it. 

Door to NowhereThis is the opening into the living room.  We are going to finish sheet rocking then add curtains from the inside of the playroom. 

That way if someone want to watch movies they can cut off the room.

Entry WayThis is down the room headed to the office.  We are going to sheetrock all of it.

My hubby (not smiling) – I surprised him.  He was taking a break from vacuuming before we rolled up the carpet.

Okay, those are the “before” pictures…
tomorrow, I shall post the After pictures. 

Well, the “work in progress” pictures…

 

(Are you thinking it can only get better and she needs a maid?  ME TOO!)

 

 

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
