The Upper Floor & Closet Project

The upper floor of our house consists of two large bedrooms, a small unfinished closet that connects both bedrooms, and an "attic" room of sorts, which is actually a room above the kitchen.

After pulling off two layers of wallpaper (of which I saved a couple of samples- just because I like old things), the first thing we did to the upstairs was add some new electrical outlets and lights/ceiling fans, as there was virtually no electricity on the second story.

My four year old loved to help rip off the old wallpaper.

The original walls in the house are all solid tongue and groove boards.

We then framed in nice sized closets in each bedroom. There will be "nooks" on each outside end for shelving, as well as plenty of storage space inside the closets themselves.

This is the not-quite finished framed in closet in the 12 year old's room.
See the bricks from the original chimney? So cool!
