All Decked out!

What started out as THIS..

Ended up as THIS DREAM!!!!

Here is The Captain nailing the last step on as MyMy practices her violin in the background!

I LOVE IT!

Didn't he do a GREAT JOB?

We are very happy we went with composite decking that is suppose to last far beyond us being in the grave and requires NO MAINTENENCE!

We plan on putting stone around the bottom to finish it off!

My LOVELY SERENE VIEW-our soybean field ALMOST ready for harvest!

It will be so nice to go out my bedroom door each morning for some tranquil time.

NOW ALL I NEED IS A CHAIR!

So BLESSED to have such a handy hubby!

My SPACE..WITH YOU!

Remember this? This is where our old stove used to sit. THIS IS NOW.... MY COMMAND CENTER-where I blog, facebook, email, homeschool and basically find all my entertainment besides what I get from my kids

This is my favorite addition to my NEW SPACE!!

The Captain is pretty much anti-anything leopard print and I'm an admitted LP addict....Ready to see MY SPACE????

Drum roll please................

All I can say is, it's BEAUTIFUL!

We still have to rip up the old floor, put trim up, change the door out that you see & some other minor details-

BUT I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER TO SHOW YOU!

The Captain and I make a GREAT TEAM and it was so worth the hard work!

Construction TEASER.

Just a little TEASER on what we are doing in our house. It's so time consuming with home schooling AND temper tantrums :). We added on to our home in 2007 and the NEW PART of the house is now complete.

This is where our OLD stove used to sit in the old part of our old kitchen in our old 900 square foot house.

This has now become MAMA'S COMMAND CENTER! Where I spend most of my time talking to you all and recording the kids home school work. As you can see, it is currently FLASH BACK to the 70's style. We are updating it to match the new part of the house.Nothing against popcorn ceilings but for me, popcorn is for movies and baseball games so it's GOTTA GO! BUH BYE POPPIE CORN!You get a glimpse of our added on great room (1600 square feet). It houses the kitchen, dining room and living room all in one-The Family Bonding Center! The boys LOVE to help daddy! Notice the WORK GLOVE on Wy Wy's LEFT HAND ONLY-reminds me of old Michael Jackson.Our house is log sided on the outside so we have a CABIN feel throughout. Here's The Captain and I putting up the NEW wood ceiling-YAY!!

Isn't it pretty?

The Captain AMAZES ME with all he can do. Farming, flying, construction and being a great dad! Doing all the interior work ourselves has made us appreciative and proud of our accomplishments!

Can't wait to show you more! We hope to get all of it done by FARMING TIME! We still have to remove and replace all trim, doors, flooring and repaint, re trim and re-door. But with God and The Captain as my partners-NO PROBLEM.
