We’re back! The last two months have been incredibly busy and somehow I never found the time to update this blog. Well, now I’m back and I will be posting regularly from now on.

We moved in about a month ago and it’s just been crazy. There’s still a bunch of things that need to be done but overall we are settled. I’ll be putting up before and after pictures over the next few days, starting with the playroom today. (It’s the room that’s the most “finished” – and the neatest! – right now.)

Here’s the playroom before (sorry, terrible pictures – I never got one before we started the demo):

And here it is now!

It still needs a light and a new cabinet to replace the awful natural file cabinet in the corner (a relic from our old computer desk). We’re getting those from Ikea:

We were going to get the matching secretary desk, but it was too small for our needs. I still love it, though!

Instead we got this awesome computer armoire. It hides everything neatly behind its doors, and the kids don’t get into all of my work stuff.

The toy closet is officially the biggest hit with the neighborhood kids. It’s so cute and cozy, they could spend all day in there! It’s the perfect size for them and roomy enough for loads of toys.

So what do you think of our transformation?

More before & afters to come!
