Ta Dah!

You have asked about the closet and the project is mostly done! So I thought I would share the before and almost after pictures- there is still some work to be done. Here is the bedroom (ok, truth time this is the pic that was on the website when the house was on the market- doesn't exactly look like this on a daily basis).

Before:
After: (ahhh a closet in my bedroom, haven't had that for 5.5 years!)

Family Room Before:
After: Woo Hoo!
Still to be done:

• Marc is going to wire everything through the closet so we will not have all those wires hanging down.
• Carpet to be ripped out in both rooms. There are hardwoods in the bedroom but they aren't in great shape, so we are probably going to have them re-done. As lovely as the pink and green linoleum is under the carpet in the family room I believe we will just put in new carpet.
• We need to get that big ol entertainment center out of there but it is too heavy for Marc and I to move it. Dee might want it but she needs to recruit all the strong people she knows and a truck- go Dee!

I have to admit that I was skeptical about the closet project. I was inclined to go the cheap and easy way out and just install the closet on the interior of our room- but Marc was convinced this was going to be the right solution. In the end I really like the end result. I think Tom and Dave did a great job and the built-ins look great and totally fit in like they have been there the whole time. So happy! Marc was in heaven watching the playoffs yesterday in HD.
