If you follow along on Instastories you would know that we have been renovating the apartment that is attached to our home. Some call it a mother-in-law suite, but if you haven’t heard that term before, it’s essentially an apartment that could operate as a space for a tenant if we wanted to have one. It has a full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, laundry and living area, plus an exterior door. When we purchased the home, we knew we weren’t going to have a tenant, and we didn’t see any of our parents moving in to our home in the near future, so we talked about opening up the space into a larger area.
The house was built about 20 years ago, before “open floor plans” became a thing. There are a lot of rooms, they are just all small and closed off. We love hosting and found ourselves wishing we had a comfortable family area for both hosting hang outs, and to use just as a family. At this point, we are almost completely finished with the space. We knocked a wall down, ripped out horrifically terrible carpet, and put in hardwoods throughout the space. The kitchen is remaining (for now) though I have other grand ideas for the space!
So, if you remember, Modsy blew my mind earlier this summer in helping my redecorate my office. I’m still finishing setting up this space, but it was so helpful to have Modsy create layouts for me since I’m not good with thinking about these kinds of things.
They were kind enough to reach out, after that post,...
