Master Suite Remodel

This past spring we began a major remodelling project of our master bedroom/bathroom and closet area. I'm not going to post all the pictures of the before project, just know we knocked down the wall in between our bedroom and closet, moved a doorway and enlarged the closet significantly. The project took close to 2 months and we lived in the bedroom while we were under construction. If I had to do it over again, I would move out in a heartbeat. The house was constantly dusty and filthy. The noise was manageable, but having to cover our bed with heavy tarps each day was too much.

The reason I'm just getting around to posting pictures of the remodel is it took me FOREVER to get the master suite accessorized and decorated. I just got the photos up on the bedroom wall last week. I'm still not done, I am waiting on a framed photo for above the mantle and once baby #2 arrives, we'll fill the last wall in the room with pictures of him or her.

All the accessorizing credit goes to Lisa Ismert. My sister in law, Crystal, is great friends with her and Lisa styled Crystals house. Crystal raved about how wonderful Lisa is and it turned out Lisa lived fairly close to me in Colorado.

The master suite remodel felt like it took forever, but it was so worth it. I am in love with my bedroom and closet and my husband has his dream shower. I love remodeling projects! The master suite remodel was planned over a long time and I'm so glad I was able to put on my "General Contractor" hat once again and oversee all the little details.

 

Now, I need to get Lisa to come back to Breckenridge and style my living room and kitchen!

So things have been a little quiet in blog-land. Sorry about that. I've been trying to wrap my mind around some crazy news...

We are having a baby!

This came as quite a shock to us, as we've always been told a biological baby wasn't possible for us. Well, God had different plans for us. Daniel will be a big brother sometime around May 20, 2013.

So far, I'm feeling great. We found out about the baby in the beginning of September. I have had a little nausea, a week of extreme tiredness and some intense cravings. That's about it, so far it's easy-peasy!

My cravings are kind of funny, well at least to me. When I want something, I want it right then and cannot stop thinking about it. Last night, I wanted spaghetti and meatballs. Two weeks ago, I obsessed over sour watermelon candy. When I couldn't find any in the local stores, I ordered a 5lb bag online. Unfortunately, it took 2 weeks to arrive and then the craving had long gone.

Overall, now that the news has set it and we've been able to pick up our jaws off of the ground,  we are thrilled about the baby!

PS-thanks for hanging in while I've been silent on this blog. Now that the news is public, I'll try to do a better job in posting.
