Attic Renovation

Around Christmas time we had a lot of family over as we do every year, and with that came a lot of people:-) We decided that we wanted more space so we could have these lovely people over more often, and since there are families that come from out of town extra bedrooms would be wonderful too:-) 

I wanted to go to the basement, and make a nice rec room with a nice sectional with a pullout couch, a bathroom, and even possibly a guest bedroom. My husband had other ideas. In fact we had completely opposite ideas. He wanted to go up.... way up.  

And so, we started the renovations. 

Our attic up until now was a cold space, FREEZING cold in fact. Or I guess if it were summer, I would say it was unbearably hot.  

Not anymore:-) 

Knee walls were built, electricity was brought up, and spray foam was sprayed.

And tada, just like that a nice, warm space:-) ha ha, pictures make the process look like it was all done with a simple click. Well.... not really so.

But, I'm glad we are to this point.  Currently we are waiting on plumbing, and the walls are going up.

Oh, I guess I didn't mention.. this will be our Master bedroom, with an en suite, and a walk in closet! Sorry my dear family that was suppose to get a nice guest room... you can have our old room:-) 

As for our children who litter the toys from one end of my house to the other.....

Well this was our basement... okay its usually not messy like this, but we were taking down ineffective insulation and so I moved all the junk to the middle, and then thought I should have taken a before picture... so this is the closest thing to a before... anyways.

Now the kids have a clean ( not nice) but clean, space they can call the playroom.

Someday we will most likely so something better to the space, but for now we focus on the attic.

Don't you LOVE the purple spray foam? My girls were thrilled, me not so much but the warmth that has come to our house since this spray foam makes it all worth it.
