110 Weeks. That is how long it has taken us to finish renovating our attic into our new master suite. (That's a little over 2 years for those of you who don't want to do the math.) We really only worked on Saturdays and a few additional days here and there, so it's not too bad if you think of it that way.
Here is a quick reminder of the nothingness that was before:
Of course I cannot go on without adding a huge THANK YOU! to the man in the red sweatshirt (Nate's dad). Without his help we could not have completed this project. Thank you for all the tools, the time, all the blood, sweat and occasional tears. (It's not an official workday unless blood is drawn, of course.)
Ok, on to the good stuff...
The STAIRWELL and SLEEPING AREA:
There used to be a chimney and a large beam going
through the middle of this area. Thank goodness we
were able to get rid of both.
The BATHROOM:
8 hours, people!
That's how long it took to put up the tiles
just around the outside of the shower.
It's a good thing it turned out well. Gorgeous!
The CLOSET:
This dresser was a $5 garage sale purchase that we
were able to refinish by painting and adding
the outside shell of wood. Again, gorgeous.
It feels a little unfair that the final product of all that work can be summed up into just seven photos.
It feels good to be sleeping upstairs.
It feels good to have a second bathroom in the house.
It feels good to have our Saturdays back again.
It feels good to be done.

The floors look great and so does the paint job and the tiling and the decorating. Way to go Kempers!
It looks incredible! The color on the walls is great. Really soothing. Congrats on a job well done. :)
I am glad about how the colors turned out. I wanted a relaxed atmosphere and think we did a good job accomplishing that.
Plus, someday we will actually get the frameless glass door on the shower. Until then the shower curtain will have to do.
