Summer Projects

Tom and I decided that while everyone else was on vacation that we would re-do some rooms in his parents house to surprise them. We did the 2 bedrooms and a small office which we turned into a nursery.


This is the blue room when we started out
The Green room which we turned into the new Brown room.
Ripping out the carpet....
And painting and nailing the floor to make sure all the squeaks were gone.
Old office
New Nursery
New blue room with the water beds turned into normal beds, This one had a custom made memory foam mattress.
Old green room, now the Brown room with a new pillow top mattress.
Finished Brown room



Finished blue room



It was a long project that took most of the summer to do, there were lots of sweaty drives home and days just being tired and not wanting to work but we did, Ralph and Rebecca were so surprised when they came home and saw that we did the basement, and 3 rooms upstairs, they were grateful to us for putting time in to do this and getting started on projects that needed to be done. It was a good project for Tom and I to do together and we learned a lot about home repair.:) Not sure if I want to do this again anytime soon but i'm proud of what we accomplished this summer.

And yes I know I didn't post pictures of the basement but we just organized all the tools and food storage, it looks good down there.

You guys are the most amazing two people in the world! What you did was nothing short of a miracle! It looks awesome! I would not blame you if you never cleaned again! That was ridiculously hard and insane! THanks again, I know my parents have made you and Tom the fav's! THere is nothing that the rest of us can ever do to reach the level of awesomeness you two have achieved !
