Here's the first part of a documentary on a laundry room to bunk room conversion. The seed of the idea came from a closet that bumped in from the hallway creating what looked like a loft that would make a nice place for a bed.
The other opportunity was a giant bank of closet space in the kitchen that turned out to have a nook perfectly sized for a stackable washer/dryer set so water and electric was rerouted and the laundry set up relocated.
Demolition begins.
The two major structural things that needed to happen were to move a pocket door over to allow enough width for bunks on one wall, along with lowering the window to make room for the upper bunk. It was a matter of inches here and there to make the whole puzzle work out.
With door and window moved, we're ready to have electrical run for bunk reading lights and begin drywall.
Stay tuned for part 2.
