the loft

for those of you that are new here, welcome to the loft!

we had a detached one car garage in our back yard that my parents demolished 

and built a 2 car garage with a small loft above.  

you can see the progress here, here and here.  

my parents stay here 1 week a month and then we use it as a guest house the rest of the time.  

lucky us!

and now they are nearly done! 

they've been working on the fireplace mantle and the kitchen area,

so i'll show you pics of that area when they're done.

when you first walk in you see the couch and the bedroom behind it. 

they built the divider wall with windows they rescued from being tossed after a remodel.

the couch and ottoman are from ikea and my mom made all the pillows 

(the apple didn't fall too far from the tree).

most of the fabrics are from moda's arcadia line, which is nearly impossible to find anymore. 

i am planning on using that line in my master bedroom, 

which apparently will never get done, but i am struggling finding more fabric! 

my mom made the pillow above from a $1 grass cloth mat!

the back wall of the bedroom they added mirror that they got from restore. 

it was from large closet doors that they took to a glass cutter and they sized them to the wall.

my mom made all of her bedding and also the bedside lamps - i'll give details on that later!

the chandelier was an extra one i had tucked under the house, and sprayed white. 

all the sparkly crystals make me happy!

and my mom is an avid thrift store shopper.  

she scores amazing deals and great finds - i'll definitely give you a more detailed tour

when they are finished with construction!
