Going Postal / Adding a 4th bedroom

If you enter our home from the side door,

you are welcomed in by 

an awkwardly LONG room.

Our home is one of the original homes in this neighborhood.

When this area was being developed in the early 1900's

they used this part of our home for the city

post office,

until the city built a free standing post office.

(hence, the extra exterior door and awkward shape)

When we first moved in,

it became a playroom/office/weird area.

The room is 29 feet deep 

and 11.5 feet wide

(it is hard to tell how weird the dimensions are in the pics)

It's almost 3 times as deep as it is wide!

Anyway,

we decided to break up the space and turn this

3 bed room home into a 4 bedroom home.

Which is a better money maker when

we decide to sell.

(no, we are not moving anytime soon!)

Whenever you decide to put $ into your home,

you should always consider the value it will

add when you sell the home.

Unless you plan to live in that home FOREVER,

than it doesn't matter what you do!

 This area will become our new playroom/guest room/4th bedroom!

It will have solid wood french doors,

so we can keep the openness of

the current room, while giving the whole room better function-ability!

We could save a lot of money if we were to use a plain solid door that doesnt have glass,

but that I think that would decrease value...therefore, this is one of the times you don't wanna save $

We will be using the room for a play room,

but when guests come to visit, they can use this room as a bedroom..

I think it would also make an awesome office area for people who don't need a play area!

The framing began this morning!!
