The Remodel. . . Part 3. . .

The front end of the building was a work in progress for quite awhile.  Partly because we couldn't totally agree on what it should look like and partly because once you tear up the front end, you have to do something about it. 

This is what it looked like before the demolition started.  In this picture, the front door is to your right and there is a wall and a hallway that separates this front area from the rest of the building.

This hallway served no purpose for us whatsoever.  There was also another small room off of this hallway, directly behind the front area, that served as an office for the former tenant. 

One of the first things we had to do was get rid of the walls and make this room one big open space. . .





This video really isn't all that exciting but it's a pretty good representation of this whole project!!






The next step was to connect the remaining wall which separated the front area from the back area with the wall that enclosed our offices.  In this picture, the ladder is sitting in the space that needs filled in. . .

This picture was taken from the other side of the wall and Rob is standing where the ladder was in the previous picture. . .

Once the wall was filled in, the slat wall went up. . .

We all agreed on the paint colors and the carpeting. . .


And the room began to look like something we could actually invite people into!!







It was a huge amount of work and is STILL a work in progress but it was well worth it! 

To be continued. . .
