Compromise 6/30

It has been pretty amazing during this project of how many decisions CMV and I have made in which we both had the same idea of the finished result. There have been a couple of decisions that required the skill of negotiation and compromise. Today is a perfect example of this process. CMV wanted to build a wall to separate the front bedroom from the front entrance. I did not want to build the wall. Through my skillful use of negotiation and compromise, we decided to build the wall to separate the front bedroom.





This was a simple wall that extended from the wall on the far side of the bedroom towards the front door. It is approxiatamely 5 1/2 feet, so the bedroom door is close to the front door. My biggest concern over building this wall was that it would appear awkward walking into a hallway and that the hall would be very dark.





Above is the view from the front door looking back to the bathroom. The front room is directly to the right. It does not feel awkward due to the door being so close to the door, but the hall will require the addition of a lighting fixture.




This is the view from the front corner of the room. One of the best "bonuses" of this wall is the fact that we were able to hang more drywall.

* A special thanks to AF and family for the donation of the last 2x4 needed to complete the wall.
