Though the room is a kitchen per se, the previous owners and then we followed, used the room as a storage room. Honestly, who needs a second kitchen other than folks with religious needs?...Not our problem! Another bedroom, and storage now those are our problems! So it begins.
After living here seven years, and not having any storage what so ever...attic access has a ceiling built over it...a brilliant design move by the couple we bought the house from, we are rather fed up with the no storage situation. Losing the old kitchen and only storage
room is a big loss and leaves us with a giant mess that has to be housed somewhere. No garage, no shed, no storage space...big problems in a modern life if you have stuff. In the 1860s when this place was built nobody had possessions other than farm equipment, so a barn sufficed. The couple that owned the house before us made the decision to burn the barn down rather than treat an insect problem., stupid if you ask me but to each his own. As a result this place has a dearth of storage. It is problematic, always, and especially at this moment of our renovation lives. We forge on.
The space is pretty large once it was emptied. It is approximately 15' x 17' . We hope to finish with a 12' x 15' bedroom in that area. Closets will have to be allotted for, much of the raw space will disappear into the closets. We dream of putting a shower in the powder room that is there now, but this is not decided yet. It is a goal that will solidify as we progress.
