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

The primary order of enterprise was to show our breakfast room into our momentary bed room. We’ve executed 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 in addition these stacks and stacks of hardwood flooring that can be utilized in our bed room suite.

I obtained all of these bins moved and stacked in opposition to the furthest wall within the space the place the brand new flooring can be put in (I’m operating out of room to place issues), after which my mother helped me deliver all the unboxed items in and stack these neatly on high. 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 way in which (relying on how precisely I did my calculations) with the intention to end up the previous couple of 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 have been large enough for what I wanted both seemed fairly flimsy or have been about $200 or extra. So I made a decision to construct my very own. It’s not fancy, however it 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 steel 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 footwear. There was no room within the sunroom for these, so I introduced all of them into my studio and lined them up in opposition to the lengthy cupboard. Perhaps I can discover a higher answer, however this was the perfect I might 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 meant for them to be taken aside as a result of I believed I used to be by no means going to get these items out. However I lastly obtained 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 undertaking.

I beloved these closets, they usually served us (or me) very effectively. But it surely fully modified the look of the room getting them out of there.

Anyway, we labored our tails off, and we obtained it executed. I believe we completed up at about 7:30 final evening.

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 undertaking to place collectively, and it was a comfortable bed room for us for the final 4 years.
