Earlier this year we had the privilege of being referred to a family who has three growing girls and basement that needed some love so they could call it "home".  It was so much fun to watch as this outdated basement turned into a perfect space for two of these lovely ladies, complete with:

• A giant mirror to practice their budding ballet skills 
• The addition of a second bedroom
• Custom shower and tile flooring in the bathroom
• A bathroom layout that provides privacy for the shower and toilet area and a double vanity
• A jack and jill style walk in closet for all their fun clothes
• LVT flooring throughout the bedrooms/main area
• New egress windows to keep them safe and sound and to add more light to the space
• New canned lighting complete with motion sensors
  
• And more that I'm sure I'm forgetting! 

It was quite the transformation and we hope they enjoy their new space for years and years to come!

With another tiny little roommate on the way in December, I'm starting to get into full on nesting mode around here.  Whatever isn't nailed down might get donated to the Goodwill and we are in the process of turning our home office into our one year old's new room to make way for his little sister.  One thing that had to be fixed was the closet.  it was tiny and only had one shelf with a dowel rod - not super helpful for a one year old room.  Handyman husband came up with a great plan to use an old chest of drawers we had to create built in drawers and melamine to create several more shelves in the top of the closet for Sweet Pete.  I'm super excited about the final product and can't wait to fill it up with tiny toddler items.  It will be so cute and functional.  Best of all, Peter will be able to reach his drawers and hanging clothes, so when he starts dressing himself he will be able to, well, dress himself.  Win/win for Mama!
