The closet to this point

It's not totally complete, but it is in a usable condition. The Pilot is stopping for now since he will be on a long business trip. Final touches will be completed when he gets back. A few shelves & drawers

need to be put in place, finishing strips need to be put on & staining needs to be done. Here are a few pictures for you all to drool over. The shoe cubbies are my personal fav.! I'll post updated room pictures once I get everything put back together & add a few of my own personal womanly touches. ;)

Progress update on master bathroom/closet/bedroom

Click to view previous update.

It was hard getting a good picture of the layout, so I drew a before & after. They are not to scale.

We've paint the bathroom, closet & master bedroom. We also added new lighting fixtures above the sink. Also installed lighting inside the closet & vanity area. The bedroom & bathroom have been partially opened up to each other. New base boards are being put in & window & door casing. Here are a few up to date pictures. Oh the Pilot also raised the ceiling in the bathroom & closet. Popcorn was scraped from all the areas, too.


Wall 1. The squares are painted with the bathroom colors.

The Pilot extended the over hang slightly & added moulding.

Walls 2-4 are painted this color. The outside of the squares on wall 1 are also painted that color.

Sanded, just waiting to be stained.

Wall was knocked in half to create a pony wall.

New lights!!

Showing bathroom colors.


Vanity area

Lighting inside closet.

View from bedroom into bathroom. This was the part that was opened up.

Cowboy

I got a chance to get into Tootie's big boy room today & hand the knick-knack I bought. I've very happy with the way this room is turning out. It's so close to being done, although DH & I keep coming up with new ideas (* items below).

Horse shoe hangers, rodeo ad, and stars

Lanterns need to be hung. Mini-hat box I got from an online store.

Close-up of the horse shoes and ad. Framed cowboy picture.

Bed with cowboy sheets and pillows. Wall hanging a friend made.

Close-up of wall hanging. Mini sign I put under it (Saloon, rodeo ad & jail).

Horse shoe door knocker when you enter. "Lil' Buckaroo" sign outside door.

To do list:
Curtains
Blinds
Put stuff back on shelves
Move clothes in
Create barn arch*
Create loft look*
New closet doors for a barn door look*

Tootie' Cowboy Bedroom

I'm only going to post a few before pictures and 1 during picture because the room is close to being done. We are putting red barn board around the room for the "barn" look. I'm also making blind, curtains, and blanket for the room.

Master closet & bath area - in progress

This is a big project that has taken a long time. Mainly due to time issues. We had a double sliding closet that we are turning into a walk in closet & vanity. 1 1/2 of the closets will be the walk in closet and the other 1/2 closet is a vanity area. The wall dividing the bath area from the sink area will be a pony wall & will eventually have a hidden storage area. We will eventually update the sink, tub and flooring. Oh, there was a door from the closet area that went to the loft area. That has been closed off.

Kitchen... done for now

The kitchen was the first room to get turn upside done and re-done. Most likely everything we did is just temporary until the money tree explodes. The cabinets weren't in the best shape. After much discussion DH agreed to painting the cabinets red. We also replaced the existing stove, dishwasher, & sink fixtures. The new stove & dishwasher came from Home Depot. DH took out the bulky mounted microwave and replaced it with a stainless steal hood. We also laid laminate wood planks for a quick flooring fix. DH also took out the fluorescent lighting & replaced it with canned lighting. He removed the cabinets above the pass through counter, cut the in half & remounted them to the wall. He then added pendant lights and more canned lighting above the sink. It's a totally different kitchen!

Nursery - still in progress

I'm hoping to get the nursery done very soon. I can work on it some more after Tootie's big boy room is finished and he is totally moved into there. Wouldn't dare have him sleep in a "girly" room. ;) All that is done in there is painting, molding, and a chandelier was hung. DH's parents helped with all this. Oh, DH & his dad hung a fan in there (also in the other 2 bedrooms). I still have final touches to do. No before picture, but here are a few "in progress" pictures...


The paint above the molding is the original room color. The paint below the molding is a silver sage color from Restoration Hardware.
