attic space.


i am feeling strangely refreshed for a monday. certainly not complaining! this weekend was spent with family on saturday and talking about future plans for the house on sunday. one of the main reasons we love this house so much is there is room to expand without building on to the house. oddly enough, we share the second floor of our home with a large, walk-in attic and have had plans to convert it to living space since the day we closed on the house. i found some inspiration images of what i am imagining the finished space to look like. the plan is to make it into a studio space/second living area. right now my office is occupying the spare bedroom (and some of doug's office) and we'd like to change that. i can imagine lots of storage, hardwood floors and a vintage chandelier hanging from the ceiling... image above from this old house

i love how they integrated bookshelves into otherwise unusable space.
