Part III of the Bedroom Sequel

We moved in some night stands, one was out in the shed and the other one was is grandpa's garage. The handles match but the styles are a little different which is perfect for an island look. The Hope Chest was made by my dad's friend Clyde Shrode along time ago. It has special quilts and hand made items in it from different family members.

We were happy to have the clothes hung back up in the closet. It is another time to sort through stuff again... so lots of clothes and shoes were donated to those who may need them. It feels wonderful to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

Here is a close up of our new blinds. We love our blinds, they not only room darken, but they have a filtering feature which is nice for the day time so that just enough light is let into the room, yet it still cuts out on the heat. Notice our established sign... thanks Jeff and Star!! And of course our little Ming Ming the duck who was born in late December after my surgery. She loves to ride her John Deere tractor around the bed during the day!! We love you Ming Ming you make us laugh everyday.

I love this picture because it gives you a view of several angles of the room. My bromide is doing really well. The flower has faded now but it has put out a pup, which will be the next plant to flower... stay tuned to see if I can get it to bloom again.
Part 4 is coming....

Sequel to TAH DAH!!!

Before we went to Hawaii to see Cara we were working frantically to get our closet done and to find the perfect bed set for our bed. Its arrival was eminent! We went to Bed Bath and Beyond to look for the perfect bed set and wouldn't you know that it was on the clearance rack??? Paying your tithing is such a blessing! Well anyway, Jeff found it and we looked at it for awhile and I said, "You know I think that this might just work!" It had all of our colors and it was very pretty.
We even saved another 20% which is quite significant if you have priced sets like this lately, because if you receive one of their 20% off coupons you can use them after the fact. So I have actually used a couple of them on the items that we had bought over the past couple of months. Thank you Heavenly Father it is a beautiful gift!! We love our bed, it is very comfy!!

This is the finished closet. Bob our Builder!!! Yes, he is Bob the Builder, did a wonderful job making what I had designed for the closet. Our closet is deep and therefore it really is a walk in closet!!! Ha Ha!! We love the space and he even put hooks on the inside door so that Jeff can hang up his ties and hats. It is a very good use of space.

One thing that Bob did was build the dresser in the closet for me. He made it so that the drawers pull all the way out and I can see everything in my drawers. It is very helpful.

Bob had two helpers who were very good at what they did too. You can also see the canned lights in this picture. I just love my closet!!

I asked Bob if he would pose for my grandsons, so that they would know that Bob the Builder was at grandma's house and that he built grandma's closet!! Thanks Bob!!
