Ch-ch-ch-changes

As you can see, there's some changes going on. First off, I'm changing the theme of my blog to sewing and crafting. I've renamed it to one of my favorite lines from the movie, "The Ten Commandments", with a slight play on words. This will help take away the focus on my camera-shy family and more on what my passion is - sewing and crafting. As we get down the road, I will probably make my blog "un" private.

Joe and I have been talking for the last 4 years how we were going to re-do our bedroom. The time has arrived!!! We re-did the kitchen when Kristen was a freshman in college. We had to re-do the guest bathroom last year due to a mold issue. We have now moved most of the furniture out of our bedroom into Kristen's room and are sleeping in Kaitlyn's bed in her room. I've had my new bedding purchased for almost a year. I can't wait.

I won't go into the grossness of what was under my bed, but suffice it to say it had to do with animals. Our house is old (50 years this year) and the "master" bedroom was originally made for probably a queen-sized bed. Obvious by the placement of the windows in the room. We have a king-sized bed which takes up quite a bit of floor space. This picture looks to where the bed used to be in between the two bedside tables with un-matching lamps!

This picture looks toward my side of the room. The window faces the front yard.

This is the closet on Joe's side of the room. His clothes were in that closet. I don't know how he got everything in there. It's small compared to today's standards for master bedroom closets. We are taking up the carpet and putting wood floor in our room. Don't get excited, only laminate, not real wood!

As you can see, we have lots of cleanup to do, stuff to rip out, and things to paint. We're starting on it this weekend. It may take a couple of weeks but it will all be worth it. And I'm one step closer to getting my SEWING ROOM!!! Yay for me!
