Three (3) Bedrooms on North Side of House

Completely REVAMPED from top to bottom. 

Bedroom #1 (13' x 13'5")
BEFORE
AFTER
In Progress... New windows for entire house.  Also notice the old wood; the old  1/4" drywall was taken down and replaced with thicker drywall.

Several cracks in the walls from the foundation repairs recently done.  This room had the most cracks out of the entire house.  This crack was above the closet.
AFTER... no more cracks and newly painted black doors and walls. 
Under the dry wall was remnants of vintage wallpaper.
Multiple bags of old drywall were hauled away from all three of these rooms.
BEFORE
AFTER

All new drywall, fresh paint, new carpet, a crisp white new door and trim!

Bedroom #2 (13'5" x 17'5")
Notice the window to the left with an air conditioner unit half covered by wood and the funky  pass through windows with the shudders?  In the after photos, you'll notice they are both gone covered by new drywall.
AFTER
The air conditioner unit that was in this window from the previous owners had created lots of damage.  Damage missed by the home inspector.
Not only did most of this wall need replacing, but also part of the rotten sub-floor.
By choosing not to rebuild the original window and creating a solid wall instead, a closet could be built and located on this wall for much needed function.  In the original footprint of this room, there was no closet until after this renovation.  Also, the original window on this wall allowed the summer afternoon sun to excessively heat this south facing room, so eliminating the window has helped for energy efficiency.
Getting rid of the pass through and large window has made this space more functional and appealing.

Down with the 1970's dark panel...
...up with new 1/2" drywall, soft yellow paint and 5 1/2" base boards.
The entire house has new double pane energy efficient windows replacing the outdated singe pane windows. 
Lots of damage from moisture and pests on the old 1/4" drywall.  The old was all taken down and replaced with all new drywall and new insulation.
New everything... including a beautiful new french door.

Bedroom #3   (10' x 12')
Assessing all the work.
The wall was crumbling away.

"Demo" time!  The spindles, shudders, and sponged green walls MUST GO.
AFTER
The area above the lamp was where the original pass through opening used to be.
What bold colors...  Out with the old, in with the new.
The mirrored closet door helps make this small room feel much larger.
Where the book shelf is, there was a second door to the room.  By closing off this entrance, more usable space was created.  
Practical  and functional closet organization.


From bright orange door trim and green sponge painted walls, to clean white and eye soothing "spring cactus" green walls.  (Glidden GLG07 Spring Cactus)
