When we first started renovating homes, there was just one STUD in my life…
Now, there are two STUDS…one is potty trained, one is not! 😉
During our first home renovation, I remember feeling SO EXCITED by stud walls. (I never thought I would type that sentence.)
But stud walls mean the demolition is done and the house is starting to take shape. This pic is from our first reno…it shows the upstairs hallway with the bathroom and laundry room.
When the stud walls go up, you can start to see how big the rooms will be, where the hallways are, and how the doorways and closets look.
Mark has been working hard this week on framing in the doorways and closets on our third floor.
This space before was just a semi-big, awkward room with no purpose. We expanded the dormers so that we could have two decent-sized bedrooms and a full bath on this floor.
It can also be just one bedroom and an office or storage space as well. Lord knows I will NOT being have 5 kids to fill these bedrooms. HA!
