bonus

Don't know if you knew....we had a room we finished after we moved in. But really?? We moved Dec. 4th. SO that didn't leave a lot of "time" for Donovan to be doing construction. That is after he finished his 9-5. But after the eggnog, family feuds, and mistletoe....He began the framing, wiring, & hanging the drywall. Next came painting, trimming, putting in closets & shelving... Yeah, it was kind of a process. But the day came and we were ready to move the girls up to the bonus room above the garage, opening up a room for an office for Donovan.

My girls have a little issue with keeping. OR maybe it's mama not keeping on top of it. Let's say it's the option #1. So...before we moved up I worked with Isabella on weeding through her "treasures". I gave her instructions to count her stuffed animals and divide that by 1/2 and that is what she can keep. So really? She had 18. I don't think I bought ANY of these. But someone who was special bought them. She could remember who got them, when and why. But agreed that she had "outgrown" some of them and it actually was a very pain-free process.

Working on Suzy's things...well that's another story. It's a process people.

The carpet install guy came....

And there was joy throughout the house.

That first night we had a little overnight guest.

As you walk in the bathroom is on the right. A little trim work there needs to be done.

Looking into the bathroom just to the right.

Making use of every little space in that little bathroom.

The closets are across from the bathroom on the left as you walk in.

Some beds Donovan made a couple of years ago. Pretty handy to have a personal handy man. I'm just sayin'.

Room for Isabella's desk now.

What fun...to make use out of the space. So very much appreciating it. And what a bonus to have the work behind us.
