The Kids Are Gone! It’s Time for a Home Takeover

Since the start of the Great Recession, the amount of grown children living with their parents has been on the rise. But recent studies are finding Millennials are finally flying the coop to live more independently.

The month of August also marks a momentous occasion for some families, whose teenagers are embarking on their college journey…hopefully out of town or out of state. Between holiday visits and summer vacations, the house might seem eerily quiet…if you don’t fill it with a new space designed for specific activities or relaxation.

The most obvious transformation, when there is finally a room to spare, is creating a luxurious guest room—complete with fresh paint, new flooring, new fixtures and even a retooled closet.

But, what if you already have a spare room and want to be a little more selfish with this opportunity to renovate? The experts at Wineteer Construction suggest embracing the full suite experience by removing a wall to expand your master bedroom or bathroom, with his or her closet space.

To truly make this available space something very unique, have our experts design a DIY crafting room, filled with customized storage space, specialty tables and walls covered in blackboard or corkboard. Or show off your music and artistic talent with a studio—not only to practice, paint or sculpt in, but to display instruments or high-end artwork.

Is your passion more about physical fitness training? Quit that gym membership and build your own exercise room, complete with built-in shelving, special padded flooring, mirrored walls, and even a sunroof or a larger window to bring in light and energy.

Finally, Wineteer Construction wants you to indulge in creating more of an adult entertainment space. Are the rest of your friends also empty nesters or even retirees? Gather them together around a customized wet bar in your new game room or invite them to a private screening in your new media room!
