And it's as if it was always there :)
I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes to me to have some natural light in that small room. It's always been very dark and dreary. I can just picture that window sill with some small cobalt-colored bottles sitting there to catch and reflect the light :)
The next step will be to finish that little room - make the cabinet doors & put in the wainscot that I dearly want & have discovered that I can now have - thanks to the fact that the walls aren't straight & Matt needs to adjust his plan for the frame on the cabinet - and finish the trim around the new window. We're going to 'finish' that part of the room except for the floor before we tackle the main bathroom, mainly because we're trying to keep it functional as long as we can, and also because we're figuring out what the next step is as we go. I will say, once the shower and tile all gets ripped out, we'd better have a plan in place it get it put back together quickly because I'm sure NEITHER of us wants to be using the girls' bath for very long...

Looks great, you are inspiring me. I hate all our bathrooms but after 3 years we still haven't done anything about them.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so amazed at people who can envision projects like that and actually complete them! Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Jen! And I LOVE the pic from the top of the ladder at the little smiling faces below. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Wow - those are big projects! the window is so nice. Your husband is very handy.
ReplyDeleteI love the pocket door too. Your bathroom is going to be amazing!
XOX
Jen
I'm jealous of the pocket door and the shelves and everything!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a window like that too. It's nice to add the light in the small rooms.
Also, I just want your backyard!
Awesome! And your deck rocks. I guess your hubs is okay too.
ReplyDeleteWow! You make such a huge project seem so simple. I am sure it's not, but I am definitely impressed. My kids have asked, "Daddy, why are you using Mommy's drill?" So I am most jealous of that handy husband.
ReplyDeleteI bet that window makes SO much difference! I am sooooo jeaous of all your extra storage. It is looking great - good job!!!

ReplyDeleteWow that window does make a difference and I love the shelves you have now too. I did get woozy looking at the photos of the ladder (there have been several dads around here who have fallen off ladders and the results were not good). Those photos of the kids watching are so cute.
ReplyDeleteTotally off-subject: Have you read “Water for Elephants”? I have been reading about the making of the movie with Pattinson here:
Waterforelephantsmovie.com (scroll around for photos of him)
(Not to say anything about your boyfriend but his nose is too small now).
that is so cool!!!!! I bet the kids were nuts about that cool hole in the house!!!
ReplyDeleteWindow looks great and I'm envious of those bathroom shelves. I would love a window in our closet someday, so dark in there. I often tell my husband that I'm going to "marry a handy man in my next life" :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend!! I'm glad you got out of kitchen duty for a couple of nights, even if it isn't Mother's Day, you totally deserve it!
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom window looks great! Natural lighting can do wonders for small rooms! Love the shelving!
I got to get out and go to a show too. We saw Wizard of Oz at the PAC on Sunday! It was so so good! I love the theater.
Hope you're having a great week so far!
7 days!!! You are seeing Eclipse at midnight, right?
