Yes it has come to my attention that we have been M.I.A. for a few weeks...and I can finally share with you why! Phillip's parents went to France to pick up his brother Steven from his mission. So while they were gone me and Phillip, and Machelle {his sister} and Tim {her boyfriend}, redid 2 rooms in their house! The first reason we concocted this surprise is that they never would have done it for themselves. The second reason is that by doing this huge project we were taking care of Mother's Day/Father's Day, birthdays, and Christmas for the rest of the year. So for 2 weeks we ate, breathed, and slept remodeling the basement! We forgot the before pictures so it isn't as dramatic and you can't appreciate the work that went into this project by just showing the final outcome {Thanks Machelle for sending me the pics}. I will say though that they feel like totally different rooms!
The first room used to be the sewing/craft room and office. It is now just the sewing/craft/scrapbook room. It is bright and fun! One of my favorite things about the room is my idea of using a lazy susan and putting dowels in it so we could put all the rolls of wrapping paper on it and spin it around. I loved organizing everything and Machelle's idea for the fabric makes the closet seem like art, haha! I love that this room feels happy!
The second room used to be Phillip's room, and then it was the dance room. Guests would stay in this stark cold room and now it has a much warmer feeling about it. Not only did this room get a fresh coat of paint and new hardwood floors {put in by Phil & Tim}, but it now has a designated purpose. It is the office/guest room. The futon allows guests a space to sleep, but still has an office feel for Phillip's Dad.
