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.


Our New Place

Goodbye Parkside Circle... Your were a good little home to us for 3 years......Hello Little Hobbit Hole......
Sorry about all the weeds that is my project this weekend. :)
My room/ computer room, things are a little tight in our now 1 Bedroom apartment.

Bathroom, horrible wall paper but im trying to make due. and yes it is really that small. Our tub is so small that Tom's shoulders are to wide so he cant really fit in it! lol
Living room

Book shelf
the boxes in the corner are full of cables that Tom needs to go through.. not sure why we have that many boxes full of cables but we do!
Kitchen, really no counter space but my table will work fine for that. :)

I have a laundry room but its empty still no washer or dryer but hopefully we will get one soon! our place is a lot smaller but we are able to save a lot of money by being here and its closer to work and Toms family which is nice since mom and dad are moving. :( I like it more and more everyday I'm here and our hobbit hole is feeling more like home sweet home. :)
