Construction Completion!!!

Our project of adding a 4th bedroom to accommodate our growing family is officially done! Everything is painted, cleaned up and everything is moved into its new room. We're very pleased at how it turned out and how inexpensive it was to do everything ourselves.

This is the view when you enter the bonus room, the door on the left is the entrance to Nathan's new room.
The office...the wall that the bookshelf and desk are on are the backside of the bedroom.

Nathan's New Room!


The other side of Nay's new room...

The Nursery (which was Nathan's old room)! At first I thought Nathan's blue walls and clouds from his "surf" themed room would look to boyish, but once I put all our "froggie" stuff in there I really like it and think it is neutral enough for now. It may stay blue or turn pink later down the road...
Let me just share a quick blessing.... when we started the adoption process we had not one baby item in this house. Thanks to very generous friends, yard sales, and a baby shower, I was able to put this whole nursery together for $ 50!!! My latest find were the curtain valances last week at the thrift store for $ 1.50!! They match the bedding perfectly!!



Now all that's missing is one thing...

Oh my goodness! What an awesome idea to move Nathan into the new bedroom! Why didn't the four of us looking at it in August when we were there think of that!! You and Dave did an awesome job! Putting the windows in there was a great idea!

Love and anxiously awaiting the new addition to the family!
