Our ‘Sitting’ Room
We created a sitting room in the north bedroom for comfortable lunch breaks. Two rocking chairs with outside seat cushions.
Door for Middle Sitting Room
We found this door on clearance at Menards. It was a display door with a different finish on each side. I needed to sand, stain and finish to match our decor.
The pine doors were found at ReStore and have been stained.
Lots of stuff stored in rooms
We have a collection of tools for working and furniture for the future Airbnb stored in different rooms making working a bit more difficult.
Breakfront Alcove
We purchased this breakfront at the ReStore in New Brighton, then created an alcove for it in the dining room. There will be a pantry closet on the right and a coat closet on the left. The glass doors are stored safely in an upstairs closet. The middle opens to a desk with pull out drawers.
Found on the way to church
We found this upper cabinet on the side of the road when we were driving to church. We have removed the glass shelves and doors. We may cut it in half and use as a divider between the dining and living rooms.
Murphy bed found on Craigslist
We wanted to put in a Murphy bed in the first floor bedroom so it was a more versatile room and could also be used as an office. We found this lovely bed with mattress and two bookcases. The previous owners were artists and we really enjoyed meeting them.
On the other side of the Murphy frame is the back of the breakfront we found at the ReStore.
Opposite the Murphy Bed are the windows which will have a closet on each side and a window seat over the radiator.
Sheetrock begun in first floor bedroom
