As many of you know, we live in a fairly old house that makes up in character what it lacks in size. That is what I tell myself at least. So when we found out we were expecting, the first thing we thought was - the guest room needs some serious work. For starters - it had some mysterious paneling that moved around when we touched it. For the past 3+ years we have been saying - "one day we'll take it down and see what's under there - if we really even want to know". Last month Matt put on a Hepa mask and ripped it out to find the original walls (in pretty bad shape) and a random door! But still, it was better than what I was expecting - asbestos, black mold, a colony of mice, insert any other old house grossness here. Thus began the process of covering the old plaster walls with drywall and removing said creepy door. Matt's dad came over and put in some time helping build the closet (thanks Joel!) A couple of weeks later and we have a real closet! Now onto polyurethaning the floors (today's project), putting up the trim and painting.
Excuse the horrible quality of these photos. We had everything pushed against the wall so I couldn't get far enough away to take a good pic. Note to self - charge the camera because the iPhone ain't cuttin' it.
Creepy door to nowhere:
Resembling a closet:
Not too bad if I do say so myself.
