Bedroom Suite Underway – The Hallway Cabinet Is Gone!

This cupboard has been great to have for the years we’ve had it. Once I constructed it, we desperately wanted extra storage on this home, so this was the proper place for it.

It additionally made sense as a result of I used to be simply changing a closet that was right here after we purchased the home. I used to be simply eradicating the outdated closet that I didn’t assume was constructed very effectively, and changing it with one thing a little bit nicer and extra helpful for our functions.

However now, it’s the top of an period. Okay, that may be a little bit dramatic. 😀 It’s simply the top of the hallway cupboard as a result of I lastly took it out this weekend. Its service to us was not wanted (or at the least, it gained’t be wanted as soon as the closet/laundry space/storage space is constructed), so it’s gone. Properly, most of it’s gone. A part of the underside part remains to be trapped by {an electrical} outlet, so I’ll must perform a little wiring mission at this time to free the remainder of that backside part from the wall.

And now you’ll be able to see what I used to be speaking about with the ground. You may see the minimize that they made across the cupboard once they eliminated the outdated flooring and subfloor and changed the subfloor. The half that was underneath the cupboard remains to be the unique flooring and subfloor. The remainder is comparatively new.

I used to be shocked and excited to see that the drywall is in such good situation. The most important harm is that this little space within the nook.

I don’t actually know why I anticipated the drywall to want changing behind the cupboard. I feel I bought my timeline incorrect. For some cause, I believed that I constructed the cupboard earlier than the brand new drywall went up, and so I anticipated the drywall behind the cupboard to be the outdated, unique drywall that will must be changed. However this was clearly changed earlier than the cupboard went in, so it’ll simply want minor repairs after which I can prime and paint it.

However y’all, look how open this space appears now!! I’m so enthusiastic about this view now!

That cupboard was wanted and really helpful to us over these previous couple of years, but it surely positive did make this space look closed in and cramped.

It made such a drastic distinction taking it out!

I do know that simply on Friday, I had just about satisfied myself that it might be simpler to take away the entire flooring on this hallway and redo all of it fairly than attempting to take away floorboards with out damaging the neighboring boards and splice in new flooring on this space.

However earlier than I do this, I feel I’m truly going to attempt to do the splicing. If that doesn’t work out, or if it appears horrible, then I can transfer to Plan B and substitute the entire flooring. However after I bought the cupboard out, I noticed that the realm underneath that cupboard actually IS fairly small, and the hallway itself actually ISN’T that small. It was simply this cupboard looming within the nook that made the cupboard look so large and the hallway look so small. So I’ll at the least strive a couple of boards and see the way it goes. I don’t assume it’ll take me lengthy to determine if I can do it or not.

I’ll let y’all know the way it goes, however within the meantime, I’ll depart you with one final take a look at this good, open view of our soon-to-be closet and laundry room on the left, and our soon-to-be open walkway to the bed room on the suitable.
