Well in case any one is loosing sleep out there, here is an update on our attic! hehe. Since my last update a month ago; it’s been nothing but insulation. B has been doing an awesome job at insulating the place, adding baffles and making sure everything is “properly breathing.” Insulation is a messy and time consuming job, but the end is in sight!
Drywall started this weekend, and the space is looking like a room again! Last week we made a Lowe’s trip and tried to pick up and order a lot of the finishing touches for the attic, like paint, blinds, closet doors and the drywall! So now it’s really getting there.
A few of the questionable items, like what we are going to do with the floor have been cleared up. We are going to paint it a light grey and call it a day, we bought durable gloss paint for a more heavy-duty finish. We are also hoping to put some sort of carpet tred or runner up the stairs to soften the squeaky steps.
I have a few more fun projects up my sleeve for finishing touches, I’ve made good progress on re-beading our chandelier, and am sketching some DIY plans for our custom wing-back upholstered headboard. Another part I can’t wait to get doing is customizing the walk in closet with useful shelving and making the most of the “small” space.
We’ve put two-solid days in this weekend of drywalling and will continue nightly after work. B’s brother and dad will be in next weekend to hopefully finish up the last of it!
Keep your fingers crossed everybody! We are getting there!
