Our Attic Space Before and During Renovation
I still have not found the time to do a longer post. I really will… I promise. As per CJ’s request, I thought I would send you before, during, and after renovation shots of our attic.
First there was the bare attic:
Then came the messy insulation that made the attic look like a cave:
And then came the insulation on top of that insulation:
There were many more steps in between this and what we have now. Here is what it looks like today:
While I am at it, here is what the room that has become our guest bedroom looked like when we bought the house:
And here is what it looks like today:

Amazing! It looks like hard work. The result of your work is adorable though! You realy did a good job!
Thank you, Tanja. Seeing these pictures again really makes me remember just how much we’ve invested of our time, energy, and money in our home.
I love attics! A sweet memory I have is when the brother just older than myself and I decided to clean up the attic which was full of old accumulations from previous homeowners so that we could make it a playroom for the foster kids that our mother and I cared for.
We spent all afternoon on our knees and elbows reading a stack of GRIT Magazines!
Elva, what a great memory! I suppose we kind of messed up that kind of a fun attic, haven’t we? Though behind our knee walls are still dark little alleyways where children could play.
Thanks for posting this! I love the one with insulation on top of insulation. It should be warm up there, perfect for some sneaky Pokemon. 🙂
Beth, I’ve not tried the Pokemon thing yet. But we sure see many people around here playing it!
So glad you took pictures. You don’t realize the work that goes into a room makeover until you see the before pictures!!! Paul has redone every room in our house and I wish I had taken pictures of the process, because as you have shown us, it truly is a lot of dirt and mess along with work. You and David had a big task before you and it turned out great. Congrats!!
I know Pamela. I’m glad we took photos also. As I mentioned earlier, they remind me of all the work that has gone into this house.
Have a wonderful week.
I like it! And I really like your guest bedroom!! It’s airy, you can breathe n relax…:)
Thanks, Mary Ellen. Both of these are “feel-good” spaces.
Hi Saloma,
Is the picture over the bed in the guest bedroom of a sugarhouse? It looks like a Fred Swan (from Barre VT) print but I don’t recognize it as one of his. Beautiful work David did. You are blessed to be married to such a talented man.
I love the quilt on the bed in the guest bedroom
