Toddler Room

Finally! Here are some pictures of our Little Foreman's room. We don't have a good "before" one, so here's part of what the room used to be (but we had already torn out the carpet) ......


And now.....

It's not 100% done, but it's close. We still need to take out that disgusting heater and put in a new curtain rod. We also need to put in more baseboard to fill in the gap left from the old carpet.... but all in time.



Of course he wanted to model what his bed is for. "nigh nigh!"


Close up of the shelf that Josh made.


 And the fabric covered frames that we made. The room is coming together!

And then we moved in...

Progress slowed WAY down around here once we moved in. I guess that's the way it goes. Honestly, we did not realize what we were getting ourselves into (having a toddler and Josh being in school full-time.) Most of my day is picking up after our little one, and sometimes I get around to working on the house. But that includes keeping him out of dangerous tools and paints while I try to work. I am usually too overwhelmed.

Nevertheless, we have made a little progress.... bit by bit.

Here is our bathroom that we painted and made a frame for the mirror. We have a lot more planned for the bathroom, but this is all the time/money that we wanted to invest in it right now.






Also, we finally found a super cheap ($0.24 /square ft) stick-on tile for the kitchen floor. It's only temporary, but it works nicely for now.
