Attic Update #1

The attic is coming along nicely, but more slowly than I imagined. It's been a lot of work, and it's been so hot here lately that I can't stay up there all afternoon because I'm too hot.

We did make some great progress this past weekend while my parents were in town. Daniel and my dad built a window seat around the duct work on the far side of the room in the attic. It took them nearly all of Saturday, but it looks awesome!

Here's a quick tour of our updates:


Going up the stairs...


I painted the left side of the wall Benjamin Moore's Linen White (my fav) and the vertical risers on the steps white to match the trim.


New window seat; I still need to sand, paint and add trim to give it a more finished look.


It's about 16" high and 24" deep. My mom is making a window seat cushion that will cover the top and make it more comfortable.



"To Do" List in the Attic:
1. Finish painting trim
2. Hang bamboo shades
3. Finish window seat
4. Make a curtain for the adjoining room
5. Prime and paint the floor
