Back Room

A couple of week ago when bathroom renovation was full swing, Todd and Kevin decided to dive right into the back room. Remember this photo? This is the before....it wasn't usually this crowded, but it was heaped with stuff from the bathroom project. I had a teeny tiny panic over how we were going to get all the crap out and find places for it in a day. But we managed...first the dressers in the kitchen. The closets in the dining room. We are getting rid of that metal closet and getting some more white units to use as storage in the back so that everything can be put away. I am very excited at that prospect! After the floor leveling and a fresh coat of paint. Standing in the kitchen door. With the new linoleum! We just picked from what they had in stock...I like it, it's a nice grey stone look that will hide dirt from shoes and the bird! That corner by the window has Orrie's name on it :) Tomorrow, Kevin comes back after a week and a half. The baseboards will be put back in and this is when we tell him we decided we want crown molding, too. After he is done, we will set about deciding what exactly goes back in and what we put it in. Besides the dining room and kitchen, there are odds and ends stored in the front foyer off our bedroom and stuff in our bedroom. We decided we must be HERDERS (or Hoarders, whichever the case may be!).

And they also rip out the bathroom in the center of the house tomorrow. Big day! And where the heck will Abbey take her nap???? I might have to hit the road!
