Changes






Last November we started on a project...one that has lasted until last Monday! It has been fun, stressfull, happy, sad, sweat and tears. It is called our basement. For the past 6 months my home has been in utter limbo! We have been painting, moving things, getting rid of things and then just waiting for things to be done. We hired out th sheet rock and texture. I primed and painted, which was always a challenge with at least 3 little ones running around. Plus, I wanted something different so I had to figure out what that was. I made three panels on the wall and crackled them. IT was fun and nerve racking all at the same time. Then I wanted a book shelf with color stripes behind...stress! We hired out the trim work and the building of the book shelf, all of which I love! Carpet came last Monday and we started moving things downstairs and getting Easter decor out, a little late, but at least I got it out!
Now we are enjoying the extra room, we only have to get the doors cut down a bit and we are all done...until we tackle the bathroom. I can wait to have construction going on in the house again. It has been dusty, messy and I don't miss it! I am so happy with all of it and glad that it was not just in my head that it would all come together. I'll have to take some more pictures of it all done...this is just the long process! Thank heavens is it over!
