“The top area as a hangout space” That loft space must be bigger than it appears in these photos, or you intend for children to use it. If you do wish to use that upper area, remember you’ll have to create a way to access it, and staircases take up quite a bit of room. Also, would that area get much air movement? Might be hot and stuffy. Have you thought about fans/air conditioning/ lighting?

It is a bit tight …I was thinking a little sleeping spot if anything if I screened it in and the kids wanted to “camp out”
And it’s far back on the property so we don’t want to add electrical although a ceiling fan would be fantastic.
I guess I should have more specifically asked ideas on what materials I could use on the back internal wall to modernize it.
Thank- you for responding !
