Sorry I have been MIA as a blogger... but here's why:
Finally, got the video to work -- sorry, there are no "before" pictures, because I was too embarrassed about the mess we had let our downstairs become! It was what I referred to as the "dumping ground" for things that didn't have a home...
Over the past month I made decisions, keep, sell, donate and TRASH -- then when that was all over I started on the project (the same day Jason left for San Diego). I had my friend Sara help me paint, but other than that I was able to complete the project while the kids were sleeping.
The video only shows two of the 4 rooms I worked on...the laundry room and workshop/storage area were cleaned and organized as well!
The whole point of this project was to give Jason a place to "retire" to when he needs space. I focused on his favorite things, music, reading, drawing...and relaxing! I painted some old pieces of furniture to match (Oregano Green), and the only "major" purchase was the futon (it was really cheap), the floor pillows and baby gates.
He LOVES it and was totally shocked!! The kids love their space as well and before Jack even gets out of bed in the morning he asks to go play "house" lol!
Anyway, here it is, our "new" space!
Hi Angie,
ReplyDeleteThe space looks great!! You did a better job than I had envisioned. Jason is one lucky man to have you.
Smooches,

And of course I want to thank everyone who offered to help -- it's really great to know I have so many friends and family willing to donate time and energy to our little family! Love you guys!
