Glassman's room and a new light!

We are starting the renos on Glassman's old room. We are going to turn it into our room, and make our room a playroom. But before we can move, there are a lot of things that need to get done. These are the before pictures of the room

This is the view when you walk in, left side, this wall will be a built in platform bed. 

This is the view when you first enter the room, right side. The far wall will be a built in platform bed. 

The view from the platform bed area. This is a small alcove where we hope to put a small dresser. 

The view of the entrance door. Note the old tacky bifold closet doors. 

And finally! This is our new dining room light! It's centered in the room now, and gives it a much more modern feel. 

The renos are coming along nicely in our house. Already in Glassman's old room the ceiling panels have come off and the scraping is done. We are hoping to finish sanding, wash, and get them painted this weekend. Then the paneling will come down, the floors will come up, and a new wall will be built.

The fireplace in our room has also been painted, but I'll post pictures when the final coat is done on it. Lastly, the laundry room has gotten some beadboard, a primed ceiling and painted door, and a light fixture make over. Again, pictures when it is all completed - including a painted blue chevron ceiling.

Craftymama's love of power tools increases. For Christmas she got a drill and a jig saw; now she has her eyes on a kreg jig, mitre saw, and sawsall. Oh how she has changed from her knitting needles and sewing machines :)
