Snoozin' at the Love Shack

I thought I would join the folks at Metamorphosis Monday

 with a tour of another room at the

Love Shack.

The Love Shack is the little old place that the Newlywed Niece is renovating on the family farm with that cute little souvenir she brought home from college.  As I mentioned in THIS POST,  all work  is being done by the newlyweds themselves, with a little lot of help from their families, and the entire project is a cash on the barrelhead adventure.

I'm proud of them for that.

Recently, she let me stick my nose where it really doesn't belong and bring the shiny red Kodak into her master bedroom. I think of all of the rooms, that was the one with the greatest *turn and run* factor.

I mentioned that the place was little, right?

It had two glorified walk- in closets for bedrooms.

.
Yep. That was all it had to offer from bow to stern, with the exception of a little jut to the left of the picture leading to the closet and bathroom.  Add to that 60's paneling and ceiling tiles, and you get the picture. 

What to do?

I suggested  bunk beds, but for some oddball reason, they rejected it. Instead, they considered  this little sun porch directly behind it.

That's the Newlywed Nephew himself. I think he's saying, "Hello.... Dad?"

Dad came to the rescue, and the demolition began...

They had to figure out a way to work with a totally different roof line
within the boundaries of their  budget.

So they decided to create a sleeping nook under the sloped ceiling.

They replaced the wall with this support beam. Down came the ceiling tiles and 60's paneling.
Up went sheet rock and crown molding.

You'll notice with this picture that I chose the sunniest time of the day to try to take these pictures. I didn't notice the big square white box flashing out in every shot until I got home.

 Now folks,  I may be blond, but even I know better than to over intrude at a Love Shack.

So these pictures are the best I have...

Ta Da!

The room is obviously sunny enough without the bank of windows on the back wall of the old sunroom so she decided to curtain the entire wall behind the bed. She found the fabric in the clearance box at the fabric store. She's her mother's daughter...

The main furniture pieces were a wedding present from that hopeless romantic herself, The Duchess.

I'm not sure where she found this little chair, but she made the side table herself.

She found this urn and a mirror in the same finish at a discount store...

And just gorrilla glued them together.

These little pillows match the fabric wall
 and the upholstered cornices that she made for the windows.

A view to the closet and bathroom end...

And that's about it.

Just another chapter in
The Great Love Shack Adventure.

Next stop, the living room, but let's leave that for another day.
They're newlyweds after all...
