A Weekend of Work

Over the holiday weekend a lot of progress was made on my room. Mike took the whole weekend off and we finished up the lighting, built all the cabinets (no doors yet), laid the flooring and started the counter tops. I can't believe how amazing it's starting to look. It's coming together so well and much faster than I had anticipated.

Have a look for yourself:

Here you see the cabinets (need doors and paint) and counter tops (need laminate) that we made this weekend. I can't wait to fill this wall with yummy product.


The upper cabinets on this wall will have glass in the doors and the tall cabinet for my paper still needs to be built.


I have never had my computer or printers in the same room as my scrapbook stuff before it is going to be so convenient.


I love this floor. It's vinyl plank. You glue it down...it's so easy and it will be a dream to keep clean.

I have to say...I am so lucky to be married to a man that can do this. We don't have to hire anyone for anything. Mike can do it all...framing, drywall, electrical, cabinetry we do together and I do all the painting. He hates to paint.
I am very thankful for his talent. He is very good at what he does. I love him very much.

well...i can tell you that it's a cabinet to hold various office-y type things but what will be interesting are the doors. that's all you get! =D

WOW! looks fabulous, Ang! You two have obviously been hard at work. It will be convenient to have you computer close at hand, lucky duck. I get a good workout up and down the stairs, smile. You have a lot of room too...again...just a titch jealous, as my room was originally intended to be a bathroom...but i told hubby, "who needs a 4th bathroom when you can have a scrapbooking room"...if you can call it that, lol! Don't get me wrong I am very, very happy with my little nook...just enough room for one, though.
Enjoy! (Oh yeah, I guess my last posting on my blog wasn't very clear. That little Tilda on the tag wasn't the one cast aside. I had to make that card so fast that i didn't even have time to take a pic...the one up there now, I actually spent some time on it. I will try to make sense next time, lol, but I was chatting with Dana on the phone and blogging at the same time, lol!)
later, t
