Our Makeover

Since we found out we were having a baby we have been planning what to do with the two extra bedrooms in our house. When we first moved in, we made one a guest bedroom and the other a study/junk room. We knew that we needed a place for at least one person to sleep so we needed to at least keep a bed, but we wanted to have a nursery and a "man" room. I actually told Patrick that he could do whatever he wanted in this room as long as we have a bed for our family to come down.

We are both very excited about the man room because it will get the Playstation, Wii, and DVDs out of the living room to help make room for a swing and toys!

This weekend we decided to start tackling this project! We started by cleaning out the study/junk room and making piles for keep, donate, storage, and trash. Patrick learned that I am pack rat and I hate to throw away ANYTHING! He had to compromise with me many times! We also needed to clean out the two closets because we needed to make the nursery closet empty!

After we finished going through everything and putting things in their place, I decided that we(or Patrick) should just go ahead and paint the room since we had time this weekend. We went to Home Depot at 7:00 and bought a paint color that Patrick wanted. We came home and Patrick painted until 12:30 Sat. night.>

Sunday, Patrick painted all day as well after church and we finally finished around 9:00 that night!

Monday night after Patrick got home from work (I had the day off). We put everything back to normal in the man room! Now, we just have to find out what we are having and do the nursery. We have decided though that Nana and Granddad are going to paint that room! :):)

Here are the pictures!
