Making room

With the recent exciting news of adding another child to our family we had to make some decisions on our home.  First thought we considered was moving.  Think again, although housing prices are still low ( ie we could get more house for the money), we would also have to sell our house first.  Although we not underwater we probably couldn't sell and have money for a down payment. Boooo, maybe in a few years.

Plan B, renovate the house.  Move the spare bedroom to the basement, and make the current spare bedroom Lilyana's big girl room. 

I felt that it was necessary to keep a spare bed at the house, since when Grand parents come to visit they can have their own space for the night or week.  So we are building a wall in the basement. When I say we I mean Matt and his friend.  Renovation is in progress..... Here is the list of what still needs to happen

1) Finish wall / Hire electriction to rewire light switch & convince Matt that we need 2nd light.
2) Paint spare room
3) Buy carpet / get dresser from Aunt Dawn's house, get rid of brown cloth couch ( hopefully this will       happen when Grandma & Grandpa come to visit and bring their truck for hauling. )
4) Install Carpet / molding in spare room.
5) Move furniture into spare room
5) Paint Lilyana's room ( former spare room ) I'll get share inspiration photos below.
6) Painting Lilyana's recycled headboard.
6) Rearrange closets ( ie. move Matt's cloths to either basement closet or buy new dressers to hold all of our stuff.
7) Seting up lilyana's room with her new bed and dresser.

Let the countdown begin.
Here are some inspiration photos what I'd like to do with Lilyana's room

I want to paint one wall a deeper shade of the teal, like in the top photo and then 3 walls in a light teal.

In inspiration room #3 I have that exact rug so with a teal wall and  her fuchsia bedspread the rug will tie everything together.

I will work harder at keeping everyone updated on the list.
