A Package Deal

With the decision to renovate the sunroom and turn it into Brian's office, we negotiated the renovation of our spare room a.k.a. Bun's room a.k.a. the ballet room a.k.a. the future nursery for our little girl.

There's not a ton that needs to be done to the room, but there is more than Brian or I want to take on (or know how to take on), so we left it up to the professionals.  We will be removing the mirrors, repairing the little bit of water damage, painting, and getting the room ready to bring our sweet baby girl home!  We've wanted to remove the mirrors in that room and paint since we moved in, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so.

Bun's temporary residence will be in the basement, but he'll probably move to the other spare room once the office is finished.  Jack and I miss him being two floors away.  (I don't know that Brian necessarily "misses" Bun, but I guess I couldn't say that he doesn't miss Bun either.  I suppose he is probably indifferent about Bun's living quarters!)

Anywho, we have begun the transformation from our spare room to the nursery.  We will be updating our photos just like we have been with the sunroom.  You can check them out by clicking on the image below.


Jack and I prepare to move Bunny-Boo to the basement.

In just a few short days, we will be well on our way to a finished nursery!

Our Next Project

After much discussion and deliberation, we have decided to complete our sunroom!  (We do not take home projects lightly!)  When we moved in to our house in November of 2010, the sunroom had a nice start to it, but it definitely needed a bit of rehab.  We haven't really used the room a ton since we moved in - thinking that we could easily do just a few minor things to get this room in tip top shape and then go from there.

Our house has three bedrooms.  We currently have one bedroom as our master bedroom, one bedroom as a spare bedroom (Bun's room), and one bedroom as our (mostly Brian's) office.  We could easily store our spare room in our partly finished basement, keep our master bedroom where it is, and keep our office where it is and make room for our wee one in the old spare room.  But we decided it would be really nice to be able to keep a spare room, at least for now, so we are finishing off the sunroom to make it a four season room and will be moving our office down there.  SO, the master will stay as the master, the spare will soon become our sweet baby's room, the current office will be the new spare room, and the sunroom will be the new office.  Just makin' a little room for baby!

Fortunately, with the sunroom renovation we will also be doing a bit of renovating on our bambino's room.  I hate to break it to all of you but the ballet mirrors are coming down...we will post photos of that room once we start the rehab.  For now, we will continue to update our sunroom project photos daily with all of our progress.

You can start by checking out our before photos and our progress over the first two days of work!  Click here for our current updates.

We are very excited about our upcoming additions!  (Sunroom and Baby, that is - not necessarily in that order!)
