We moved into our current house in December of 2007 and shortly after began to remodel the 2nd floor northwest corner bedroom. At that time, we were expecting our 2nd child and had high hopes of finishing it before the new baby arrived. Well, that didn't happen....However, today, we moved our oldest daughter Blessing into her new room!
Can I tell you what a process it is to remodel! It takes time, effort, a lot of thought and planning, and yes, even some disagreements and arguments amongst spouses! I will also tell you, that once we put the final touches on this room, there will not be another remodeling project for at least a few months - or as long as I can keep my dear husband from tearing down more walls! :-)
Anyway, today we moved our oldest daughter Blessing into her new room. I have included pictures of the room. We had help from church friends, family, and borrowed items like a texture gun and finish nailer from church friends and family. Without the support that we have we would not be where we are today.
It definitely feels so good to have this project done and off the list, especially since the twins are going to be coming very soon! Blessing slept in her new room for nap and is currently sleeping in her room right now for her first night! She was so excited to get things moved in and to sleep!
Now, we just need to find time to finish the small things. That list includes the following: doorstops installed, electrical finished in the attic, some shelves built/hung???, the rest of her toys and other things moved in, another carpet runner purchased (I accidentally grabbed an actual rug instead of runner, so need to return the rug and get a runner), a carpet for the closet purchased, a closet rod installed to hang clothes on, and a table lamp moved in.
This may seem like an extremely long list, but a lot of it will be able to be knocked off in a matter of a couple of hours. It is just a matter of having my dear husband work with me to accomplish it. We will see what we can get done before babies come, and if it isn't completely finished, it is at least now livable!
So, kudos to my dear husband for all of his hard work and thank you to those who helped and/or loaned us tools to finish the job. We know that you know who you are - we could not have finished it without you and truly do appreciate each and every one of you! And, to my dear father, thank you for all of your encouragement and help, especially with the trim!
Enjoy the pictures!!!
