Turning the Unfinished Attic Into an Art Studio and Meditation Area

Rick just completed remodeling one-third of the attic! The attic is a great space except for the extremely steep stairs! We have wonderful views of the river from the two north-facing windows.

We now have an art studio area and a yoga/meditation area.

We used materials that were easy to transport up the steep stairs and those that were budget-friendly.

As the floor was uneven, we used the rubber interlocking mats for flooring. The walls are tin roofing and shiplap.  He used old windows that will allow the unfinished area some light.

We used furniture that we had stored up there and are slowly going through each item in the attic.  Keep, throw, or donate. What a job!!

Looking forward to our new attic hideaway!
