MORE UPDATE- THE FRONT BEDROOM

SO, OF ALL THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE, I THINK THE FRONT BEDROOM HAS CHANGED THE MOST.. FROM A STORAGE ROOM.. - TO A CRAFT ROOM/BEDROOM. - THAT IS UNTIL JARIS DECIDES TO MOVE IN WITH ME- THEN IT'LL BE HER ROOM. (NO PRESSURE JARIS.. YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME..)

HERE IT IS IN PICTURES...

LOOK AT ALL THAT GREAT STUFF!! JUST GOING TO WASTE IN PILES. NOW IT ALL HAS A HOME AND FOR THE MOST PART IS PUT AWAY WHERE IT WILL STAY.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT.. THIS IS AFTER A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN PUT AWAY... STILL LOTS TOO GO....

UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN'T SEE IT ALL IN THIS PILE.. BUT WE PUT A BUNCH OF STUFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM AND PAINTED AROUND IT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE A HOME AT THE TIME.. DON'T YOU LOVE THE RED WALL? HERE'S THE SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLIES CLOSET.- I KNOW!! IT'S A LOT. BUT IT'LL BE FANTASTIC ONCE I GET IN THERE AND REALLY ORGANIZE ALL OF THAT STUFF AND START USING IT AGAIN.

THIS IS THE CHRISTMAS CLOSET.. 98% OF THE STUFF IN HERE IS THE BOXES OF STUFF FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. ISN'T THIS THE MOST FANTASTIC THING FOR THE WALL SPACE IN BETWEEN THE TWO CLOSETS? I LOVE IT! IT'S PRES. HINCKLEY'S 9 BE'S. MYRNA STARTED PUTTING IT UP.. AND LEAH ENDED UP FINISHING IT JUST A FEW MIN.'S BEFORE THE GIRLS' CHRISTMAS PARTY BEGAN.

HERE'S THE RED WALL FINALLY DONE.. 500 COATS LATER. WHY IS RED SO HARD TO PAINT? IT WAS WORTH IT THOUGH.- ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IT'S DONE. HERE'S THE CRAFT TABLE. IT WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE. WE (MYRNA) HAD TO TAKE IT APART TO GET IT IN THE ROOM. (THE TWO PLASTIC CONTAINERS UNDER THE TABLE ARE CHILDRENS BOOKS THAT WILL BE GOING IN THE BOOKSHELF THAT IS UP AGAINST THE RED WALL.

THIS IS MY NIECE JULIA'S OLD BED. IT WAS AT MYNRA'S HOUSE.. THE NIGHT STAND IS AN OLD ONE I USED BEFORE I GOT MY NEW BEDROOM SET. I GAVE IT TO MYRNA TO USE AT HER HOUSE.. SINCE I TOOK THE BED THAT WAS IN HER BACK BEDROOM.. SHE GAVE ME BACK THE NIGHTSTAND THAT WENT WITH IT.. AND SHE GAVE ME THE LAMP AS WELL.

IT'S STILL A MIRACLE TO ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE FLOORS IN THIS ROOM. IT'S A GIGANTIC ROOM WHEN THERE'S NOT A BUNCH OF STORAGE IN IT. I LOVE THAT IT'S DONE. (ALL IT NEEDS IS THE BASEBOARD AND THE 20 YEAR PLAN CLOSET DOORS AND IT WILL BE 100% DONE) (PS.. THE 20 YEAR PLAN IS THE STUFF IT MAY TAKE ME 20 YEARS TO GET...- LOL!)

CATCH UP PART - 2

So, today's a pretty busy day but I wanted to update this blog, so here I am. Here's some more catch up on what's been going on with the house.. We'll start with the hall closet... I don't have a picture of what it looked like without the drywall.. but you can imagine.. Here it is after being taped & plastered. - Gives you a whole new appreciation for those who lay dry wall all day long. So, before long.. with Dad and Kent working on the hall closet.. the kitchen began to look like this...Tools everywhere of course.

Here's the new doorway Kent & Dad cut into the bathroom. It turned out FANTASTIC!!! Dad made sure it went flush with the wall in the bathroom so it doesn't stick out like an obvious door. I love it!Here's what the doorway looks like from in the bathroom.. I still need to paint that wall, but doesn't the little door look fantastic?!

Here it is with the beautiful shelves.

And of course- you know me.. too impatient to get it all filled in... Here it is with some stuff in it.. this isn't the end result by any means - I still need to paint in there... and organize... but it's practically done!

CATCH UP- PART 1

SO, TODAY YOU GET A NEW BACKGROUND -but not much writting. I'll catch up on everything someother time.. I'm exhausted at the moment.
