Finished Attic

This was the "cute" little attic when we bought our house 2 years ago. We loved the angles of the ceiling, but the wallpaper needed to go, and the walls needed insulation. Raccoons and squirrels had made it their home, and if I needed to go up there for any reason, I would bang the walls and make a lot of racket to scare them away first (just being honest here). The wood floors were just the subfloor, with cracks and large gaps in between some of the planks. The guys got started on demolition 1 year ago. Notice the chimney, which needed a lot of cleaning to get those mineral deposits off. After lots and lots of dust, loads of garbage bags brought down many flights of stairs, banging and hammering, here we are. After the carpet was laid, the kids kept doing summersaults and squealing, because this is the only carpet in the house and it's so "soft." :) I love how Jeff cleaned up the chimney so we can keep the brick exposed. His brother Scott framed in the little closet next to it, for added storage.
When this project concluded, it meant that we are finished with the inside of our home! Clayton is asking when he can move upstairs and make this his bedroom. He thinks it's the coolest room in the house!
