The Bedroom Swith-ero

We got the bedroom set today, it was a little hairy getting it home as it was very windy from the remnents of Tropical Storm Kyle was flowing through the area. We got this all set up in Jay's room and it looks fantastic, especially for the price what a steal. The benefit of this is that we were able to take the captain's bed out of Jay's room and put it into Kohl's room so he would have some extra drawers. Two new bedrooms for next to nothing, we have a little touch up work to do on the walls where things came down but we'll get that done over the next few days.

The Closet Door

Finally after being in our new home for 1 year, I finally have a door on my laundry room. It had been covered by a vertical blind since we moved in and it was tacky. We had to get a door and cut it down because the entry way is a little shorter than a normal door would be, Alice in Wonderland....LOL. As it's a holiday here all the stores were closed so we will get a coat of paint on it for tommorrow.

Great Renovation Project

It is time to get into another renovation project, albeit a smaller one than normal. We are putting a door on the entry way to the laundry room. Since we moved in this entry has been covered by a vertical blind so I am excited to finally get the chance to have a real door which I am hoping will cut some of the noise down. We were going to start last night but due to the flood in the basement we put it off until tommorrow.

Renovation Work

My Hubby has been working with a friend of his on a major renovation project. His friend bought an old home, giant home actually that has fallen into major dis-repair. The process began a few months ago when a couple of people were hired to start the demolition project of stripping the home back to the frame. It became difficult to get the job done so after a bit they parted ways and Hubby stepped up to help with the project. It is finally starting to see some progress with the strip down almost complete. This home has a beautiful view of the ocean and I can't wait to see the re-construct begin to take shape.

Renovation Disaster

We finally got a nice day(no rain) so we decided to finally get a coat of paint on the outside door to the new burgandy color. We got the primer coat on and in the afternoon got a coat of the burgandy paint on. It was starting to look pretty good, but the grey clouds rolled in, we worried all night about our paint, sure enough when we got up in the morning the paint was bubbled and when we went for groceries, Matt walked out and hit the back of his foot off the door, the paint peeled up a big chunk. When we got home he scrapped the whole thing off and we will wait for another nice day to try again.
