Extreme Makeover Home Edition!











The house has gotten quite a make over in the past few weeks. We have a new roof over part of the house, a newly fixed ceiling and painted downstairs bathroom that we can finally use after three years, and a lot of rooms with new fuctions. This summer, Steve and I transformed the "changing room" (which housed our dressers and my closet) into the nursery. This weekend, we moved the guest room from the second to third floor. We will turn the now vacant room on the second floor into a playroom and the third floor is slowly becoming a grandparent suite! The move was no easy task as the box spring would not make the tight turn onto the third floor. So, instead of spending hundreds on a box spring that can be assembled at home, we got instructions off of the Internet for cutting a box spring and then putting it back together. Luckily, it worked perfectly, and the bed is now set up on the third floor. We are planning a full suite up there, complete with a full bath, a tv and sitting area and a table and chairs. We are hoping to have lots of visitors in the year and a half after the baby comes and want them to be comfortable and have some privacy. We also thought they might appreciate not sharing a wall with the baby's room!
