Latest project

I've casually mentioned a couple of times on Facebook that we've been "working" on a new project around here.

My cousin Haley decided that, for her daughter Kaylee's 10th birthday, she was going to give her a new, big-girl bedroom. That meant a complete makeover--new paint, new bedding, new furniture, new lighting, newly reorganized closet (and we know what Shane can do with a closet)--you know, the works!

So, Haley asked Shane to build Kaylee a new bed. It wasn't just any old bed--it was a loft bed, complete with roll out desk and two bookshelves! Then, she asked him to install new lighting, build an entertainment unit for Kaylee's TV and fish tank, and redo her closet!

Whew.

I'm tired just thinking back on it....*giggle*

Anyway, Shane got to work, and I was even able to pitch in in a few, no-need-for-a-master-carpenter-type ways.

{Yeah.....I painted. So what? Painting takes some skill.....oh, whatever.}

Anyway, the room turned out great. Haley and Kaylee were both more than thrilled, and that was what was most important! Here are a few pictures of the final result!!

Desk in

(you can see the two bookshelves underneath as well)

Desk out! (Oh, yeah...and Shane built that ladder, too!)

Top of the bunk with new bedding

(It is a bit difficult to see--since the bed and the wall that the bed

is on are both the same color--but the bed actually goes up the wall.

You can see where it ends--right underneath all her picture frames.)

Cute little entertainment unit!


And the finished product, complete with a beautiful new light!

This ensemble just screams "Pottery Barn", doesn't it?

{I want one....}
