We did another project.... Always lots to do around here! The picture below is from when we first moved in. The previous owners had put in a pellet stove. We were never able to use it because it got so hot and Thomas was so little. When we did use it, it was after he went to bed. It warmed our part of the house while he froze in his room. So out it came. That was probably 3 years ago.
We were left with this hole:
We've had it behind the piano, the desk, a sofa... all sorts of things. We were wanting to remove the beams down, which you can see above, but not wanting all the work that was involved with that. However, we wanted better use of that space. Our house is fairly small and with 2 growing boys, any floor space we can have is appreciated!
So it was decided to turn the whole into an entertainment center!
Destruction and re-do started the day after Christmas. All signs of Christmas decor were down and in the garage by 11:00 when my Dad arrived to help with the work. All the men were ready to go!
Benjamin couldn't get enough of the work and was seen all day long with either a broom or a dust pan in hand.
Day 2:
Time to rebuild the walls and put up sheet rock.
End of Day 2:
Lots of progress!
Day 3: Just a few things done. Primer, shelves prepped and then off for a date night with some friends. We couldn't spend his entire week off on just this one whole!!
Day 4 was spent in Roseville having more fun!
Day 5: we're cutting it close because the next day we'd have a house full of people!
Jared did the finishing work of baseboards, shelf installing and finally all the electronics put back in!
So far, so good! I've spent this week tracking down pretty baskets and things to make it look more organized and pretty!
I love my hubby and dad!!
