My bedroom is Under Construction. Which means that I am not sleeping there. John and I are now in Adam's bedroom. The good news is that he has a really comfortable bed. The bad news is that we have to step over, around, and through construction debris every day to get dressed. Yuck. And now that they are tiling the bathroom, we need to take a few days worth of clothes out, because we won't be able to get to them, otherwise.
We are going from 80's mauve-and-blue wallpaper and raspberry red tile to light tan silestone (quartz in it is a variety of shades) and Travertine marble bathroom floor and latte-colored walls. I also had some crown molding installed, which gives it a nice, finished look. There's more to the change than that, but the biggest deal is that the whole color scheme is changing. The colors we had just didn't say "Rest here, relax here" and the new colors will...we will have red and green accents in the bedding and accessories.
MY biggest project is making the drapes. Not hard, but the materials are always somewhat bulky, and overlarge. And I don't have a gigantic construction area for the cutting, etc., which makes it a little awkward. Pictures to follow next week or so.
I spend a lot of time in my room, which contains my office, so I am really looking forward to moving back in. Not that it will be completed much before we return from Bonnie's Colgate graduation on the 19th. Veronica will be living with the construction zone, but she is mostly in another part of the house, anyway.
It sounds like it will look very serene. Can't wait to see photos oc the new space - bet you really can't wait to see it completed :)
Wishing you a happy Mother's Day!

Oh I can't wait to see your before/after photos. My kitchen in nearly done. I so look forward to that! (and will post pics on my blog). BTW: I realize you might not live close by... but just incase you do decide to go to that blogger's party.... it's from 5 - 7 pm now. They moved it up. I realize you might be away at Bonnie's graduation then. Anyhooo...Hope to see you there! :O)

It sounds gorgeous, but I hate chaos. When any kind of remodeling is called for, I get the urge to MOVE.

Sounds exciting and hectic all at once. Living with construction can be quite tricky.
Can't wait to see pictures of your new bathroom!
