In my opinion, the sheen from the ceiling complements the natural wood on the ground floor. e kitchen was originally a small 20-square- foot space next to the bathroom in order to meet code requirement for occupation. However, I needed more space for brewing beer, so I put in another fire-rated door and expanded the kitchen into the garage. e kitchen we cook in is a 10'x 25' space with all open shelving. I kept the same color pallet of black, white, and grey, but I also added some touches of red to give it some character. e countertop is made of pine board, concrete, and almost black wood-like tile. e material I used for the backsplash is the same style that I used in the bathroom shower. e kitchen is a really diverse space that offers a ton of storage and multipurpose usage. Since it's long and narrow, and I knew I needed some "movable" counter space, I made some floating islands, one of which is a rolling tool cart that stores all of our flatware and kitchen utensils. e other cart has three shelves and stores plates, bowls, and coffee mugs. Because they're both on casters, these carts can roll and move and they provide another 8' of linear counter space. I echoed the same shiny galvanized sheet metal panels for the ceiling in the kitchen just like in the main living space. All of the appliances are in a near perfect condition, but I purchased them at a deep discount from a scratch and dent store. e sink is a 44-gallon galvanized feed trough that I cut and fit a drain into. is sink gives me the space I need to wash out my home brewing equipment. I also made the faucet, which I outfitted with a long hose and quick connect couplings so I can get the water pressure I need depending on what I'm washing. For cleaning my brewing equipment, I needed some serious water pressure, the kind of pressure a normal faucet wouldn't be able to provide. Architecturally, the bathroom receives a lot of praise for its simplicity and functionality. In a 10'x10' space, I have a full vanity, a 6'x4' shower which has two separate shower heads, a full-sized washer and dryer, the toilet, and about 20 linear feet of shelves. It still feels very spacious. It's also the only room inside the house that has drywall as a wall/ceiling covering. e outlets and light fixtures are still exposed, but I wanted the exhaust fans to be tucked away in the ceiling. e shower walls are comprised of the same corrugated metal that I used for the ceiling covering, which again makes the 4'x6' shower really bright. For the shower flooring surface, I went with a tile that looked like concrete, mainly because the flooring surface for the entirety of the house is the bare concrete slab. With the interior of the house, the process took roughly four months from start to finish, but once I got my final inspection, I was able to move in on October 22, 2016. I came inside, cracked open a can of PBR, and celebrated my new living space. I still had several bits of trim work that I needed to complete, but I was now living mortgage free. 910 - 678 -WOOD (9663) 4101-10 0 Raeford Road Fayet teville, NC 28403 w w w.woodysfurniturestores.com WOODYS FURNITURE REAL WOOD REAL VALUE REAL SERVICE What's precious you is precious Auto.
