Goodbye, Bedroom! (Making Room For My New Closet And Laundry Room)

The primary order of enterprise was to show our breakfast room into our short-term bed room. We’ve performed this earlier than again in 2019 and 2020, and we’re doing it once more. I needed to empty the room not solely of the furnishings (simply the chairs, actually), but additionally these stacks and stacks of hardwood flooring that will probably be utilized in our bed room suite.

I acquired all of these containers moved and stacked towards the furthest wall within the space the place the brand new flooring will probably be put in (I’m working out of room to place issues), after which my mother helped me deliver all the unboxed items in and stack these neatly on prime. My thought was that by the point I attain this wall in the course of the flooring set up, I received’t have a lot to maneuver out of the best way (relying on how precisely I did my calculations) so as to end up the previous few rows.

Subsequent, I wanted to empty out my closets. I had nowhere to hold my garments, so I checked out a number of freestanding choices you can purchase and assemble. Sadly, those that had been large enough for what I wanted both regarded fairly flimsy or had been about $200 or extra. So I made a decision to construct my very own. It’s not fancy, but it surely did the trick. It took me about an hour to construct from begin to end. The development could be very fundamental, and it price about $80 utilizing two metallic hanging bars and some items of lumber from Lowe’s.

As soon as that was constructed, I moved it into the sunroom near the washer and dryer, after which moved all of my garments in right here and hung them up.

Then I wanted a spot for my sneakers. There was no room within the sunroom for these, so I introduced all of them into my studio and lined them up towards the lengthy cupboard. Perhaps I can discover a higher resolution, however this was one of the best I may do in a pinch.

After which it was time for the closets to come back out. And let me let you know, once I constructed these closets, I constructed them to final. I clearly by no means supposed for them to be taken aside as a result of I assumed I used to be by no means going to get this stuff out. However I lastly acquired them aside, and we hauled all of the items out of the room and into my workshop the place I now have a pleasant stack of supplies that I can repurpose into one other constructing venture.

I cherished these closets, and so they served us (or me) very properly. But it surely utterly modified the look of the room getting them out of there.

Anyway, we labored our tails off, and we acquired it performed. I believe we completed up at about 7:30 final night time.

So, goodbye, bed room. It was good whereas it lasted.

So let’s take one final look again at this bed room. It was a enjoyable venture to place collectively, and it was a snug bed room for us for the final 4 years.
