Changes in the house

   Big changes have been happening at my house.  I have finally gotten off my duff and built all of the furniture I had hanging around in boxes.  Which means I have a nice "new" hutch, a linen closet in the upstairs hallway and a gorgeous bookcase in the master bedroom.  I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!   I also turned my daughter's & my office into my office & sewing room, cleaned out the workout room, and moved the old hutch into the master bathroom.


   I have utilized my new office/sewing room to make a bed skirt for my daughter, curtains for my husband's office, and got caught up on mending. It's been nice to finally (after 10 years) feel "moved in".  To facilitate this feeling the workout room (which to be honest we aren't using for workouts) will be turned into a storage room so I can finally have my dining room downstairs.  Right now it is storage and a catch-all of "stuff".   We have moved out the weights (just dumbbells) and TV & DVD player into the master bedroom so I can do Pilates and hubby can lift weights. I will be painting the workout room (already have the paint ) and making a set of curtains (already have the fabrics) BEFORE I turn it into storage.


    Then it's onto the downstairs.  All of my daughter's storage will move from the downstairs closet to the upstairs storage, as will everything in the dining room except two items - the grill (that will go into the garage) and the piano (into the living room).  This will allow me to set up my nice dining table & chairs.  My goal is to eat Thanksgiving dinner in the dinging room!  So forward!
