While I'm waiting for the final city permits to be approved in order to start demolition (supposedly just days away), I've started ANOTHER major renovation at the house in Sag Harbor. Crazy, right?
I think there's a psychological need to get SOMETHING underway and finished. So I decided to begin a project I've wanted to do for at least 15 years. I'm going to take one of the upstairs guest bedrooms and turn it into a home office/craft room. It's got a nice vaulted ceiling and a dormer window so it's gets lots of light, just right for a big desk. I'm going to add a lot of millwork, built-in shelves that will go up to the ceiling peak around the window, and some more inset shelves under the dormer for lots of storage. Books, art supplies, CDs, music speakers...all in their proper place. At the base will be deeper cabinets with doors that can close off any stuff I don't want out in the open.
Here's the sketch I gave to the carpenter:
And here's the room as it looks now before the work begins:
A wall of shelves will run up to the ceiling around the window. |
The desk will fit under this ceiling slope. |
Inset shelves will go under the dormer window. |
