Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!
The boys and I went for a ride to check out people's Christmas Lights on Christmas Eve.
The past few days hubby has been working on one of our son's bedroom. He absolutely loved sharks so he is painting the whole room blue and has made some cutouts out of old paneling that was in our attic.

We eventually will get him shark bedding and some stickers for the walls.

Running towards final stages

We now have a bedroom door, built in shelves near our future window. Thsee shelves are where my grandmother's desk will be sitting. To the right I am going to make a message board out of an old window we have here.
Mudding is being put up and flooring is being laid down as well.
Hubby made his own chair rail.

A little more done

About half way done now!!

Hubby just needs to finish putting sheet rock up around the closets. Finish sheet rocking the entryway. The ceiling just needs the rest of the "beams" added. The door put in. Tape and mudding, paint then voila it is finished! !!

New room pics

Here are some more pics of the room.  Hubby has put a bathroom door in from master bedroom. He also put up some of the bead board on the ceiling with the beams.
Closets are framed in and barn boards in it to match the bedroom.

Hubby measuring to cut out spot for bathroom door.

Newest Project

All of you know how much I love pinterest. Here is hubby's newest project.....pinterest inspired. Master Bedroom

U see in these pics the faux barn board walls and faux hardwood flooring. We bough several sheets of plywood from Lowe's and had them cut them to the sizes that we need. I wanted the boards to be gray like the lockers hubby made but the stain we used do not come in a Gallon bucket. I ended up choosing another gray shade with hints of blue.  The floors we are staining Antique Maple.
We will be taking the old farm doors below cutting them to turn them into barn door closet doors. The glass door if it can't fit where my pantry is will be hung sideways on our wall above the bed with a quote hand written on the glass.

I'm going to keep the doorknobs on them.
Here is our new to us entryway light fixture we got at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

I will post more pics as hubby makes more progress. :)
