5 YEARS AGO, WE BROKE GROUND ADDING A MASTER BEDROOM, 2 1/2 BATHS, FAMILY ROOM, BACK STAIRWAY, ETC..... AND WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RESULTS......EXCEPT, WE CONSTANTLY BATTLE WITH THE KIDS OVER THE TV! THEY WANT TO XBOX AND WE WANT FOOTBALL! WE NEED ANOTHER TV ROOM....DOWNSTAIRS.....HUBS IS ON BOARD....WE NEED IT NOW!
SO I'VE BEEN OBSESSING....SPACE PLANNING, FURNITURE SELECTING, NAILING DOWN EVERY DETAIL TO THE SQUARE MILLIMETER! HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH........
WE'RE GONNA KNOCK OUT THOSE TWO WINDOWS AND REPLACE WITH A 5' OPENING INTO THE NEW SPACE-POCKET DOORS WILL ALLOW US TO SHUT OUT XBOX NOISE!
ENTER HERE!
WHEN IN DOUBT, TAPE IT OUT! I LOVE LOVE LOVE PAINTERS TAPE TO OUTLINE!!! BELOW IS THE ENTRY SHOWS THE ENTRY INTO THE IMAGINARY NEW SPACE.....
THE FIREPLACE WALL IS SUPER IMPORTANT TO ME-THE BEST SPOT FOR THE TV IN THIS SPACE IS OVER THE FIREPLACE....A CHALLENGE BECAUSE IM TOO LAZY TO BEND MY NECK UP TO WATCH TV(THIS ISNT A HUGE ROOM!) SO, I HAD TO COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR A LOW HANGING TV OVER THE FIREPLACE....MY SOLUTION? VERY SIMPLE BOX-Y LOOKING WOODWORK SURROUNDING THE STONE SURROUND OF THE FIREPLACE.....SO THE BOTTOM OF THE TV COMES UP LESS THAN 4' FROM THE FLOOR-YIPPEE!!! NO SORE NECKS!!!
OF COURSE THE SPACE PLAN ISNT GOOD ENOUGH---GOTTA TAPE IT OUT-AND LOVING THE SCONCES!!!
FOR YEARS, LITERALLY, I'VE BEEN DYING OVER THIS GRASS CLOTH......IM DOING IT!! AND CANT WAIT TO THROW IN SOME ORANGE!
STAY TUNED, YALL!!
