Our New Room

Our room is finally done! After weeks of cleaning, building, drywalling, painting and carpeting, we finally have our own room!

The "before" picture of the other side of the garage. Note that it is not everything but the kitchen sink... it's everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink (we're remodeling the inside of the house, so we have an excuse for a messy garage)


After cleaning the whole garage. I didn't get a shot of the other side, but everything is stacked quite nicely - really


All ready to be turned into a room


This wall took many tries to hang


2 walls and a door


All walls are up


The work station


We discovered an empty beer bottle inside the wall that one of the construction workers put there 20 years ago


Building the ceiling


Putting in the drywall


Drywalling the ceiling


Drywall completed


The carpet adds a nice touch


My uncle (a professional drywaller) did the taping...


...and the texturing


Primed and ready to be painted


Bad lighting, but the paint is called "Velvet Frost" - a nice lavender color


Installing the fan (and you can see the paint better)


A friend installed the carpet


Time to move in our stuff


Upgrade from a full size to a king size bed. What a luxury!

The final product!
