Home Improvements

A couple of weeks ago, we decided it would be fun to do some home improvement projects. Well, Abe went a little crazy with tools and I just about went insane! It was pretty much total chaos, but now it's done and over and we can just sit back an enjoy!

We started with the boys room, which we decided to switch with our guest bedroom. I love it! Here's how it turned out:

We also painted the walls of the guest bedroom a pale green. Then we moved onto the office. Abe wanted to do hardwood laminate floors in there, and since Costco had a really good sale on the stuff, we went for it! We painted the walls in there too. Abe also built some killer shelves in the closet in there so now we have tons of room to store stuff--check it out:



We (meaning mostly Abe) decided that hardwood laminate floors would look especially nice in our bedroom too. And thanks to the wonderful people who run Costco...anyways, we did the floors (which means you also have to do the baseboards) and again Abe built some amazing custom closet shelves in our walk-in closet. What a handy-man! Well, here you go:


To get the full effect of our awesome house you'll just have to come and visit! :o)
