Then & Now

Design by Crotzer nearly done

I know you've all been waiting for it so, here it is!! We're finally nearly complete with our new bedroom. WARNING: photo overload.



BEFORE: This is how was listed when we bought the house

Can we say yikes?? Death trap for kids??

It became more frightening with demo

Then a little less - we really thought this was going to be a "small" project.

I have a gap in my photo diary but you get the drift

If you don't...forward progress is what  you're seeing.





At this point we were pretty much on our own - labor budget busted!!



Thanks to a little "free" help from G'pa S. we were able to slowly but surely move forward.



"Free" help from G'ma during the final days was PRICELESS!

I spend a complete week...sometimes 16 hours a day

gett'n 'er done!!!

Then having fun decorating!! 

And moving up stairs

AFTER: I say nearly complete because I don't know what I want

for a few of the finishing touches

Like the doors for the built-ins

We pretty much had to rearrange our entire house because furniture from our old room didn't fit up the stairs so we shifted the entire house - it has all worked out thankfully.

To all of you that I said to come stay once we had more room, you have about 3 days to make that happen...

Bocce Fun

When the court needs raking; who do you call? These guys!

 I just love the smiles!

Noah's new bestest

I don't know why we did this....

Thank you Costco! First response was not what we expected, I think he was a little shocked about having a HUGE 53" teddy bear but soon he was wound tighter than...something wound tight!

Had to get dad involved with the bear play!

And mom for the snuggle/reading time

More Easter....some of my favorites

Love, Love, Love IT!!!

Obviously, little guy wanted to climb the tree...

Momma was gonna show him how!

Just playing
