Turned My Garage into a Craft Room!? | Renovation Vlog

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This was such a long and frustrating process. We hired contractors to turn out garage into a living space so I could use it for my craft room. They were absolutely terrible and we ended up having to finish it ourselves. What a nightmare. I'm so glad it's done and usable now :)

    Wow what a journey!! I’m trying to create a studio space in my garage right now. It’s also been a frustratingly long process. I think we’re within a few weeks of completion. It has been so exhausting. I can’t imagine doing this with a newborn!

    Congrats on the beautiful new craft room. Congrats on the new baby as well. I love your space and I’m excited to create my own slice of heaven. Thanks for sharing.

    Congrats on your baby Jess! Was wondering about you a few month’s ago. So sorry for the disasters you went through with the reno. Unfortunately with our house, we could always at least double the time it would take to get something done. About 25 years into living here (10 years ago), I had to get my oven fixed and the appliance guy said each appliance need its own circuit. 😡🤬 The kitchen, LR, and master bath are all on one. In the past 5 years or so, the service professor came out to take down and put back up my repaired ceiling fan. I had him investigate why I had no power to the basement bathroom over the sink light. It was never wired!!!! 🤬🤬🤬. Sheesh, the electrician my MIL suggested was 70 and likely NOT up on new codes. Makes me so angry. So yea, I feel for you and your husband on that! Hopefully, Andrew was able to make the French door paint look good……after stripping it down. 🙄 What a mess and a lot of work! Glad it’s done! 👏👏👏

    Oh, Jess. What a journey. I could tell before you stated you fired those contractors that you were done. When they broke your water line the second time, I would have fired them. I am so sorry you guys had so much stress. Especially with your pregnancy. Your hubby is awesome. It brought a smile to my face as he patiently instructed your boys and let them do it. He did a lot and the room is amazing. Beautiful baby girl as well. We have 3 kids. 2 boys close together and 5 and 7 years between them and their sister. They are all grown now with families of their own. Your room is stunning. Im so completely jealous. I have a pretty little room so i am grateful. I wish for a larger room though. Tfs. Cant wait for the offical room tour. Blessings, Pea

    Wow! What a journey it has been for you, your family, and the garage conversion! You’ve been BUSY my friend! But so good to “see” you and hope things have settled a little and you can star5 enjoying your new crafty space. I can’t believe those contractors 🙄😩. So glad Andrew was able to step in and finish most of the work. Thanks for sharing with us. 😍💜

    It really was a nightmare. There's SO much I didn't even include in the videos, but man... it was rough. I'm so glad we came through it and were able to finish the room finally. It's such a great space. Coralie is often toddling around in here trying to get into everything :D hehe
