Next!

Having actually completed the bathroom in the suite, Grace and I were emboldened to finish something else. (No, not the addition (yet). Settle down!)

About two years ago we remodeled the bathroom in the house. We finished the bathroom itself but there was a small hallway that escaped our attention. Truth be told, it didn't so much escape our attention as we just grew accustomed to its not being done... We tackled that today.

Here's what it looked like when we started (and what it has looked like for a long time already.)

It's hard to capture the full extent of its unfinishedness since it is a tiny area. It's only about a 4x4 space; our photographer couldn't get the whole thing in one picture due to space constraints. I think these photographs are more than adequate for communicating its state of unfinishedness though.

Today Grace bought two sheets of drywall and a 2x4 and away we went. Even with just the drywall up the transformation is incredible! We've got to do a little mudding yet and install some flooring and then we're done. (Our photographer is gone for the night so maybe I will post more pictures tomorrow...)

Studs give an interesting 3-D look to a house, though. Perhaps you'll miss them...

it's strange - now that it has drywall on, the hallway looks a million times taller than it did before... but we're definitely not missing the 'exposed house skeleton' look.
