So.. about 2 years ago I gotta thinking about making some attic space into a room?? Like the space above the master bedroom and bath and laundry closet... "Wouldn't it be wonderful for another living space? A place for the kiddos to escape to. A place out of site where messes could be left {but only overnight}", I thought to myself. Then I ran it by the Mr. who was at first reluctant, but finally came to his senses :)

At first it was just insulation with a touch of drywall... Then it became this! We wanted it rustic- sorta-barn-feeling. So we went with wooden paneling. I adore it!!
*****
Then I dreamed up making a little loft for the kiddos to play in & still be able to see the TV for movie nights..
*****
Then I dreamed up some built-ins... Did I mention I don't sleep well??
*****
Then I found an old barn door at an estate sale....
And some inexpensive barn style lights at ikea.
*****
And we have a little 1/2 bath that we love! Now... it has quickly became the family favorite! So much so that I have to keep their toothbrushes up here...
*****
Plus we now have a pull out sofa so BRING ON THE HOUSE GUESTS!!
*****
I'm ashamed to admit that I've only spent $20 on accessories... I shopped the attic and filled the built-ins rather quickly :()
*****
My builder surprised me with these little cubbies in the knee wall. Which sorta double as end tables for drinks and other fun!
*****
I gave up the skylight in my powder room to give the new room some natural light {Joey's brilliant idea". It is fabulous!!!
*****
This is how the loft currently looks.... can you say Lego land? I cannot begin to tell you the hours that my little curly headed boy spends up here... PRECIOUS!
*****
It's LOVE. I. tell. you!

Come on over...
