We decided to make a few updates to the house with some of our tax return money this year. Our fireplace is not usable for wood burning, don't ask!, so we are going to be putting in an electric insert. It gets pretty chilly downstairs in the winter and since the family room, play room, and our bedroom/bathroom are all down there we would like it a bit warmer. The fireplace is drafty and it will be nice to give it a more updated look and make it usable as well.
The play room had a wall of closet, drawers, and shelves that also covered the fire place piping. The closet also covered a door to the outside that had been caulked shut. This door along with the small window are pretty drafty too so we ripped out all of the closet,storage this past Saturday to officially kick off this project! We are going to take the door to the outside out when it gets warmer and put in a new DH window to match the rest of the house and also make the play room into a possible 4th bedroom. We will also build a new closet space and replace the small hopper window. Now my family room is full of toys for the kiddos to play with while the play room is off limits. Cant wait to see how it all turns out!
