While we were there, they had one of my chairs that I had ordered in the back clearance section for 75% off because it wasn’t with a set.

Famous last words, of course.. Chris actually got the old shelving ripped  out and the new cabinets up in about 24 hours, which was an awesome start to the project.But then it was all the little details like adding in the little wood countertop, trimming things out, and painting all the cabinets that feel like they took forever, as usual.

You’d think I would have learned by now!.I absolutely love it now and I’ve been spending the last little while getting things all organized and super-functional in there and now I’m so glad we took this project on even thought it took just a leeeeeetle longer than I thought it would.So here’s how the room looked before we started this project.. Ummm, yeah.

That was my bedroom.. Our master bedroom was built an as addition so it’s in its own wing off to one side of our house.It has a hallway off the back that leads out to a deck, with our  ensuite bathroom right off the hall..

This was another incarnation of the room and another attempt to somehow temporarily organize all the stuff that was back there..

This little shelf nook is actually where the door to the bathroom is now.Potential fulfilled?

Uh… erm… um… not so much..But the potential is plentiful, and it is sweet.. We were given these white Adirondack chairs (Muskoka chairs, if you ask Chris) recently.

For our fire pit, which we were also given.Again, I ask, why am I so lucky?.
