Hip Hip Hooray!

A house project...

I love quick house projects. They make me giddy. I love having a handy husband. I love sitting on my lazy ass behind and watching our house transform. Lilly is now old enough to help. She loves helping Daddy. Can you guess what this project is?

It's an expansion of sorts. Here are the girls during construction.

Lilly the big girl helper!

This is your last chance to guess...

We needed this big time. My friend Kristen had this done in her home years ago. We stole the idea. Andy knocked it out in 2 weekends without stress and while still logging many family hours.

Meet my new baby our new "coat" closet!

Isn't it a beauty?? Andy added a bunch of extra space, put up new drywall, added recessed lights, and painted. We will store blankets, coats, childrens' shoes, and Lilly's crafts (tons and tons of art supplies), puzzles, toys... You name it, it's going in this here closet. And I am so very excited! Andy picked out this shelving and installed it very quickly. He's a stud.

We have more to add along the back wall (think basket drawers and the rest of the floor!) but for now I'm thrilled and can't wait to start loading it up!

Here's the stud himself. Nice work closet man! And no, you can't hire him.
