A new year...

We are finally back in the bedroom. I can barely believe it. It feels surreal after all this time. I'm taking the process of moving back in slowly so I can savor the feeling. We are attempting to purge a lot of clutter during this process which can be so time consuming but it feels so good though.
So the tour...

Our new dresser/entertainment center. *love*
Do you see the hidden panel next to the dresser for our breaker box? Pretty fantastic work on Husband's part I must say.

This is the wall that contains the backdoor. (pictured above) We don't have the curtains up yet, long story, but eventually....
The back wall.
Gotta love the matching night-stands. (It was quite the exciting day of furniture shopping let me tell you) They make me feel grown up.
The totes on the floor? I'll explain in the next picture.

This is where the closet will eventually go... We have yet to figure out this little conundrum. There's a hidden door on the far right side that allows us access to the water heater... Husband has plans in place to build a small removable shelving unit against that wall so that we can eventually attach the poles to hang clothing. It's just ridiculously cold outside so who knows how long some of our clothing will remain in totes...
(The trash bag? Clothes for charity)

So there you have it. I'm finally beginning to feel like there's an end to all this madness. We still have trim to lay, doors to stain/paint, curtains to hang, closets to finish, paint to touch up... And that's just the bedroom.

I feel like it will be a year of change and I hope that change is for the better. I have a feeling it will be though. So here's to new beginnings.
(And no I don't make resolutions)

Bedroom photo blog, part 1

Part 1 is a tour of what the bedroom looked like (sort of) before the damage was done.

Our bed, relocated to the living room. (the couch was relocated to the kitchen lol)


The closet that held our ghetto heater and water heater. (too bad I didn't get a picture before Husband ripped it out... it was so ghetto and nasty)


Our closet.


And behind curtain #1 we have.... our water heater.


Where our bed was...


Bathroom door... I know this is all very exciting...


Wall opposite bathroom.


Where the tv was...


Wall next to our closet.

So there you have it. I promise the next one will be much more interesting. Lots of destruction in that one. Promise.

Construction vs 9823.1

Because our floor is sinking ever lower.
Because the carpet is green and 4 years is far too long to live with that.
Because it needs to done.

This weekend Husband will finally fix the floor in our bedroom/hallway. I'm off to OKC so I won't be in his way. Hopefully everything will go as planned. If it does we shall have a tank-less water heater, a new central heat/air system, and no carpet (maybe). Here's to hoping.
(I will post a photo-ish blog in the near future to show before, during and after photos. Stay tuned.)
