Since you have to walk through the kids old room (now my office) to get to the new rooms, we decided to rip up some carpet & add a strip of laminate flooring that matches the kitchen. I think it turned out great and I won't have to worry about the carpet getting worn & dirty. Oh and you can hear the kids coming from their room. No sneaking up on us. HA HA!
The kids old room is now my office & I'm so happy for all the space I have now. I even took over the closet in this room & gave Pete our whole other closet. Mine is larger! Got an office with a view now.
Two windows were taken out of the bedrooms for the new bedrooms. I decided rather than trying to fill in the hole, just put in bookshelves instead. I made the right decision & I love them. Pete just put them in today. This is the one in our bedroom.
Bookshelf in the office. It has a lot more stuff on the shelves now since this photo has been taken. Shelves are a little under 5 inches wide, so only small things will go on them, but it was better than trying to paint a wall to match.
So our project is almost completely finished. I need to put in landscaping shrubs and the guttering will be made & put up soon. What will I do next year? Already got that covered. We will have to re-tile around the tub in our bathroom and then the walls will probably get a fresh coat of paint. All of the rooms have been painted since we moved in except for our bedroom & bathroom. This house really needed an updating since it was stuck in the 1980's. We always thought we would build a house and make it just how we wanted it. Don't think that will happen cause we are so happy with this house. So a little work here & there seems to be better than starting from scratch. Though I always wanted a kitchen with an island, I will settle for a smaller one and maybe Pete will take me to an island. LOL LOL LOL!
