Creative Room

We had an art room in our last house. My kids and their friends spent a lot of time in there making all sorts of art and crafts. Our new house has the perfect room for it off of the loft upstairs. We’ve named it the Creative Room. 
We forgot to take a before picture. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Here is one during construction.

This is a picture from the appraiser:

(This was before the baseboards were painted)
I need to get better at “Before” pictures because I have a lot of projects coming up.

The plan was to add desktops, drawers and cabinets. IKEA was awesome for desktops and drawers.

We found cabinets at Lowes:

We were going to mount them up against the ceiling. Marshall mounted the middle one first. Then when mounting the right he realized the ceiling wasn’t level. The cabinet couldn’t mount up to the ceiling evenly. So he dropped the side cabinets down. I didn’t like it at all. So then we moved the center one down and added molding to the top. We learned a lot!!! There are always surprises that come up with projects and nothing turns out as expected.

We painted them Repose Gray. It is a Sherwin Williams color.

Marshall added the handles, trim around the cabinets and caulked to finish them off.
