Finally, we’ve moved our master bedroom to the “real” master upstairs!  It’s much larger, and best of all, it has two closets that are each twice as big as what we had in the guest bedroom!  YAY! I actually said I wasn’t going to share these photos in blog-land yet… because the room is very …

I usually don’t share too much in the middle of projects… I just like the before and afters :)  But I can’t contain my excitement! As you may have seen on facebook, this is the current view of our living room. So what this means is … progress!  And as I mentioned on facebook… motivation.  …
