Biggest Transformation Yet

Our house turned from a one bedroom into a legal two bedroom after adding an extra room in the basement!  We did not know when we submitted paperwork and began building walls, that within 2 years it would turn into our little girl's room.

Butterflies were an obvious choice for the handmade mobile and wall art :)  The barn door and picture frame came from a salvaged barn in NE.  Jesse took the mountain picture and built the book shelf (what a handy man!).  I refinished the dresser and rocking chair thrift store finds.  We put beetle kill on the far wall to level out the sloped edge and found the perfect verse to place on the wall for Elly Joy.

The Attic: making use of every space

Our attic has turned into our movie loft / spare bedroom / office space ...all while still serving as a wonderful storage space behind dormer doors and a roll away book shelf.  We LOVE it up there and it brings us back to our travels and adventures :)

BEFORE: (looked like your typical attic... dirty and full of insulation)  


AFTER:

travel collection

Hidden storage behind bookshelf

couch/ twin size bed

All the insulation is on the walls and ceiling instead of the floor for warmth in the winter and we have a vent that can be opened in the summer to help with air flow.  The floor was leftovers from the laundry area and we installed carpet squares to finish off the look.  I am a big fan of our new space!!

The Yard

Since moving into our little mountain home, the yard has been a continuous process...

We have landscaped...





We built a log bench...



We put up the arch my dad built when we got married and created the stone path to bring our little Ellyse home...

The Kitchen

The kitchen Renovation is almost complete...and its a good thing too because this week we hit 36 weeks!!


The kitchen marks our fastest and smoothest reno yet.  Thank goodness for a wonderful community of Estes friends and a trip from mom Williams.  The kitchen would be no where near completion without all the helping hands.
