We Left a 2-Bedroom House...

...and came back to a 3-bedroom house! How? We enlarged the window in the basement room (where Chuck and I have been living for the past year) and made it a legal bedroom. We can't believe how much more light comes through this large area and are thrilled to have a safe exit in case of emergency. Plus, we are sure it will more than pay for itself when we go to sell our house (in 20 years). The price difference between a two- and three-bedroom house is huge!

Before: (outside and in)


After: (excuse the messy room)

  2. What type of room were you in before if it wasn't considered a bedroom? It looks great, and bigger windows are always a plus, especially in a basement!
